Pricing – People

It is important when comparing cemetery pricing that you consider everything that is included in burial costs. Some cemeteries that are connected with funeral homes offer low cemetery lot pricing, because they make up the difference with high funeral service fees.

Nearly all cemeteries require that you purchase a burial vault (outer burial containers) at the time of death. These can cost $500 to $1,500 or more, but they are not allowed at Penn Forest. Burial vaults keep the ground flat to allow for grass cutting, but our aim is to restore native ground cover plants instead of grass, so we don’t use vaults. When burial vault costs are included in the total cemetery costs, Penn Forest pricing is typically equal to or lower than total costs at conventional cemeteries.

Also, many conventional cemeteries have grave densities of 800 to 1,200 graves per acre. At Penn Forest, because we bury among the trees and must avoid tree and plant root systems, our grave densities are about half of that. And a portion of our lot price is used for forest restoration, which is not true at conventional cemeteries.

It’s important when comparing our prices with other cemeteries to compare apples to apples. Below you will find our lot pricing and burial fees. If you have any questions, feel free to fill out the form to your right and a representative will contact you with more information.
