What does “burial” mean?
Burial is a method of putting the deceased to their final resting place. Burial costs will include the opening and closing of the grave. There is also the cost of obtaining a plot for burial to be taken into consideration. Part of this purchase price goes towards perpetual care. Where burial used to be the most selected method, cremation is becoming far more common. In some areas cremation is chosen up to 80% of the time.
