Options when purchasing a ‘RIGHT OF BURIAL’
A ‘Right of Burial’ is an exclusive right granted to the nominated person for a specific burial site (plot). Upon receipt of payment in full for the burial site, the Jewish Cemetery Trust will issue a ‘Right of Burial’ certificate in favour of the nominee. Detailed below are two options to consider when reserving a plot. Each option has its own characteristics to suit different individuals, and are outlined as below.
Plots are available in the monumental and the lawn sections.
A monumental plot is a term used to describe a grave covered with granite, marble, concrete or some other material, and finish above ground level. Monuments vary from simple to ornate, whilst abiding by the Australian standards and guidelines in concert with the JCT rules and regulations.
