Are you interested in purchasing a burial plot for yourself? Or are you looking for a burial plot for a loved one? Regardless of your specific situation, there are going to be a bunch of different types of burial plots available to you when you visit a memorial park cemetery in Tulsa, OK. You should make yourself aware of the different types of burial plots prior to visiting a cemetery so that you know which one is going to be right for you. Find out about the various types of burial plots below.

Individual plot

More often than not, those who are searching for a burial plot in a Tulsa, OK cemetery will be on the hunt for an individual plot. This type of burial plot is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a plot that is designed to hold a single casket for an individual. If you’re going to be buying a burial plot for yourself and you’re not married, you’re likely going to want to go with an individual plot. You should also consider this type of burial plot for a family member if you know that you’re going to be burying them alone.

Companion plot

Unlike an individual plot, a companion plot is designed to hold two caskets. This type of burial plot is usually the ideal burial solution for a married couple. Some married couples choose to buy companion plots to ensure that they’re both buried together one day. But there are also some families that will purchase a companion plot when one-half of a married couple dies and leave the other half open for a later date. Either way, companion plots often allow families to choose whether they want to bury two people side by side or bury them with one casket on top of another.

Family plot

If an entire family decides that they all want to be buried together, that is an option that they’ll have at most cemeteries. They can buy up what is called a family plot so that each member of their family can be buried in the same general area. A family plot can be almost any size that a family wants it to be. It all depends on how many family members they plan on burying in the space. Generally speaking, most families will arrange to have one large headstone put in the middle of a family plot with everyone’s name on it and then strategically position smaller headstones in the areas in which individual family members are buried.

Plot for cremated remains

These days, there are more and more people who are asking to be cremated rather than buried. But when a person is cremated, their family will have the option of burying their cremated remains once their cremation is complete. It’s a good way to keep a person’s remains safe while also providing a family with a place to gather later on down the road. As a result of all this, some cemeteries have started to offer burial plots for cremated remains. They’re usually slightly smaller than regular plots since cemeteries won’t have to worry about placing caskets into them.
