Can I purchase a burial lot before a death occurs?

Yes. Because the time of death is often traumatic, with emotional and financial strain, it is advisable to select a burial lot in advance. Thoughtful planning and financial prudence will help avoid hasty selections made at the time of need. The Pre-need Counseling Service of the Cemeteries Office allows you to make prudent decisions without pressure. All burials spaces, crypts and niches must be paid in full before burial can occur.
