Planning Ahead

Essential Things to Know Before You
Bury a Loved One or Purchase a Coffin, Urn or Monument

Depth & Layout Options for Burials:  Plots within King Cemetery allow for burial of the remains of more than one individual as identified here.

 

Planning ahead and sharing plans with funeral professionals and family members responsible for coordinating burial services will help to ensure the undisturbed interment of your loved ones.

​

The following diagrams provide important information about burial depths as well as layout ideas for accommodating sequential interments.

 

NOTE: The required (maximum) burial depth for Green Burial plots is 3.5 feet (to support proper body decomposition within the biologically active soil zone). The minimum burial depth for Cremation Burial plots is one foot (12 inches) from the top of the urn; cremains shall not be buried deeper than 3.5 feet in any plots. See images below for clarification.
