| Frequently Asked Questions |
| Why should I pre-arrange my cemetery needs? |
| By pre-arranging your burial, your wishes are made clear. Advance planning is the best way to avoid heavier financial burdens in the future, and decisions are made apart from the emotions and stress of a death. We will assist you and respect your preferences. |
| When I buy a plot, do I own the land? |
| You own the right to determine who may be buried on the plot. These rights are called interment or burial rights. The land remains the property and responsibility of the Cemetery and/or Municipality. |
| Can I sell my plot to someone else? |
| You may sell the plot to someone else, however there are specific conditions and certain steps required to ensure the transfer of ownership is registered in the Cemetery and Municipal records. Please contact us at (519) 348-8429 x 222 for more details, or review Section E of our Cemetery By-law. |
| How many urns (cremations) can go on one plot? |
| Four (4) urns is considered a full plot as described in Section F of our Cemetery By-law. |
| Winter Interments |
| Winter burials take place weather permitting or on a medical order. Burials occur between April 15th and November 15th (inclusive) each year. |
| Can we plant a tree, bush, or flowers on our family grave? |
| All details pertaining to what you can adorn gravesite with is available in Section H of our Cemetery By-law. |
