We are very, very, very pleased to finally have our cemetery license! This means we can resume selling right of interments. I encourage you to purchase soon as we have been advised to increase our prices to come in line with other parishes in the diocese. The cost of the full burial plot will not increase much, but the ash plots will increase significantly including the right to inter ashes above the full burial of a family member which changes from $50 to $200 for each interment. One point of clarification: The sale of interment right is not the sale of a plot but the right to be interred in an assigned plot.
Here are our current and new prices for members of St. Mary’s:
