In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to interment of ashes, and name added to the stone.

Background

Mom passed in 2013, and I've had her urn of ashes at my home ever since. Mostly out of selfishness; I couldn't let her go, since I had the choice to bring her home. But, there are 2 issues with me doing that: I am not respecting her by burying in her sacred ground, (according to our and her religious beliefs), but I'm also not affording my siblings the opportunity to go to an actual gravesite and visit/pay respects, any time they wish to. I will be having Mom's ashes interred at the same cemetery her parents are buried, in their plot. I would like to have her name also etched in the stone, so that she has an official place there with her parents. I've spoken with the staff at the cemetery (new St. Mary's in Bellmawr NJ), and was given the fee breakdown. It costs $670 for the opening on a Saturday {I'm trying to have it when my siblings can all make it} This will cover them opening the plot, to bury Mom with my grandparents. There is also a cost of $400 for the reuse/urn burial right. There was not one previously purchased when the plot was purchased all those years ago. The only other things that could incur costs, would be for the etching of Mom's name on the stone, {I'd really like to have that added, if the existing stone allows space}, and I'd like to have a priest come out the day of the inurnment, and have a few prayers said. I assume that would cost me something or I could at least make a donation to the home parish of the priest. I will most likely contact my Mom's home parish.
