Texas Cemetery Plots

A Guide to Purchasing Texas Cemetery Plots

Ensuring you have a cemetery plot is an excellent way to give yourself and your family peace of mind. And when you buy your plot on eBay, you have the freedom of choosing your final resting place. Here's how to find the right one for you on eBay.

As you browse for Texas burial plots, location is one of the most important considerations. Here are some things to look for as you browse listings:

• The memorial park as a whole - It's a good idea to do some research about the cemetery you're considering. Look to see if the grounds are well-maintained. Some memorial parks emphasize features like trees, benches, and landscaping, while others have the look of a more traditional cemetery.
• Proximity to family - While it may not be absolutely necessary, you may want to choose a park that is close enough to make visiting convenient for family members.
• Markers versus monuments - Some cemeteries only have flat grave markers, others have monuments, and some have a mix of both. If you have a strong preference when it comes to grave markers, it's wise to choose a cemetery where your preferred aesthetic fits in well.
• Closeness to other plots - While many memorial parks are relatively dense, others will include more secluded plots.

When shopping for Texas burial plots, it's useful to know about the options when it comes to types of burial plots. There are three main options to choose from:

• Single - This is a single burial plot, which is ideal if you don't have a strong preference as to who you'll be buried next to.
• Side-by-side - For married couples, it's common to purchase side-by-side burial plots. These are often more expensive than purchasing two separate burial plots. However, in some cases, you may receive a discount for purchases multiple plots at the same time.
• Double-depth - This option is somewhat uncommon, but it offers a way to save space. Since the plot will be dug at twice the depth of a regular plot, it allows two caskets to be buried, with one over the other.

In some cases, purchasing a Texas burial plot includes more than the plot itself. While shopping on eBay, be sure to look closely at listing details. Some plots also include "endowment care," which covers grave maintenance. Generally, opening and closing the plot, headstones, and markers, and other associated services are arranged separately. Some plots may include these services.
