Like most cemeteries, Penn Forest’s pricing is divided into three categories:
1.) Burial Rights – (Lot purchases) Buying a lot in a cemetery is not the same as buying land, although there are similarities. When you buy a lot, you don’t own the land; you only own the right to be buried in that lot.
If you buy a lot at Penn Forest and wish to sell it or transfer it to another person, that can be done. Just contact us for the procedures to follow and the forms to use.

2.) Interment Fees – When someone is buried at Penn Forest, we charge interment fees. This covers the cost of digging and filling the grave. Because of this, it is sometimes called the ‘opening and closing’ fee, but it also helps pay for employees’ salaries, taxes, utilities, record keeping, memorial page and other cemetery overhead costs. Interment fees may fluctuate over time and cannot be prepaid before death.
Current Interment Fees
| Full Body Interment Fees | $ 2,200.00 |
| Cremated Remains Interment Fees | $ 900.00 |
| Cremated Remains Scattering Fees | $ 600.00 |
| Additional fee for burials/scatterings on weekends | $ 600.00 |
| Additional fee for burials with less than 48 hours notice | $ 200.00 |
3.) Merchandise Fees – These are fees for goods or services, like grave markers, memorial tree plantings, installation costs, costs for officiants’ or musicians’ services, all of which occur at the time of death or later. These fees may fluctuate over time and cannot be prepaid before death.

These prices do not include late fees for after-hours burial or holiday fees for burials on New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving Day.
