Tips for Choosing the Right Spot for Ground Burial

Ground burials are the most common burial choice for people in the US. They allow for outdoor visitations and give the option to be buried alongside other family members. To aid you in choosing a ground burial plot, we’ve listed the most important factors to consider.

Choosing a Location

At Mobile Memorial Gardens, we have a variety of plot locations that showcase beautiful features. The layout of the gardens ensures you are never too far from a roadway, which makes it easier for family members who come to visit. You can choose to rest near Founder’s lake, a sight that offers an incredible view. Perhaps you want to rest in the shade among the trees. Take a look at our garden map to explore our many breathtaking gardens. 

Make Pre-arrangements 

As the cemetery’s unique locations are quite popular, making pre-arrangements can secure your plot. Give yourself peace of mind of knowing that your final resting place will be exactly as you wish. Making pre-arrangements also saves families the financial and emotional stress of having to secure a plot quickly in the midst of grieving. Families who plan in advance often spend less money than they do in an emergency, as well.

Figure Out Expenses 

In general, in the United States, burial plot costs vary by state and other factors. In-ground burials offer an affordable option and you can also determine your budget through the pre-need planning program. You can also save money by purchasing a double-depth interment rather than a standard side-by-side plot. You can also plan to be buried amongst family, bringing a sense of community and closeness to your final resting place.

Explore Your Wishes

Choosing your final resting place is arguably the most important decision you will make. It should feel and look natural and right to you. Perpetual care is also included whenever you make pre-arrangements so that you never have to worry about keeping up with maintenance. We do it for you so you can focus on what’s more important.
