Selecting A "Sleeping Place"

When selecting a cemetery, which is derived from a German word "koimeterion" (a sleeping place), primary consideration should be given to location and meeting religious needs. After that, take into consideration factors such as what types of monuments the cemetary allows and what restrictions it might place on burial vaults purchased elsewhere. You should also find out if a grave liner is required and if perpetual care is included in the price. If not. seperate endowment care fee for maintenance and groundskeeping may be advisable. The FTC's Funeral Rule, which provides consumer protection does not cover cemeteries unless they sell both funeral goods and funeral servives. If not, it is incumbent upon you to make wise and suitable choices.
