Death - funerals - memorial construction: Outline
When a new grave is purchased it is not the ownership of the land
itself that is purchased, but the rights to have burials take place in
that grave. These rights are sold, or to be more correct, 'granted'
together with the rights to erect a memorial on the grave in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the cemetery. It is important that
you select the cemetery that will provide you with the type of memorial
that you require as regulations differ from area to area. This can be
checked out by contacting the cemetery office and making enquiries
about the choices and options available
