Q&A
I am a divorced woman now, and was wondering if there is any plots left next to or near where my mom is buried & where my dad will be after he passes. Their plots are right next to each other & their headstone is one of those double ones. How do I find this info out?
– Sherry G.
Can you please tell me who is your mother and father and what cemetery they are in? Thank you.
-Kendra
How much is it to get a plot for a bench? Can ashes be in urns attached / placed on benches? My plan is to have a bench with my ashes in an urn and my husbands in an urn so that anyone that wants to visit when I am gone can sit on the bench beside me with my husband. I want my bench next to my best friend that just passed due to Covid 7-15-21.

I have a cousin who we do not think has a stone she is in Block M. Flat stones can we order a marker for her online and place it in or do we need to go through a loco place and have them do it ?

My mother is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery. I am reaching 71 years of age and her son. My health is fastly declining. I plan to be cremated when my time arrives. Is there any possibility that my urn can be located along side my mother's plot?
Thank you, Robert Koons
– Bob K.
Yes, there is a fee to open the grave, but cremains can be placed there.
My mom is buried next to my father in the military section. Sadly she does not have a marker of any sort. How much and where do I go to raise funds for her to get one?
