The Cemetery Services Office can provide the following information:
- Regarding at time of need and pre-need purchases of burial lot(s) or columbarium niche(s) and other cemetery products
- Guidance on types of lots available and the restrictions in each Garden or Section of the cemeteries.
- Provide the location of gravesites to families, genealogical researchers, funeral homes and
memorialization professionals - Provide information on monument restrictions specific to a lot or other areas of the cemetery
