Cemetery Master Planning

All development projects should begin with an overall plan. Except for very small sites, most cemeteries are developed in phases that must be coordinated over a long period of time, guided through a cemetery master plan. This assures that there will always be continuity between the individual phases that may take several generations to complete.

Grever & Ward has a unique background and a skilled team of cemetery planners and landscape architects. We can give advice and create plans that address most issues. This includes designing, planning, developing new cemeteries and expanding existing ones. These issues include site selection, site interpretation and statistical analyzing.

Grever & Ward specializes in long-term development plans. These plans focus on key areas like roads, drainage and earthwork. They also cover water supply and landscape designs. Additionally, they include supporting facilities like offices, maintenance centers, mausoleums, etc.  All designs emphasize economical development, efficient operation and low maintenance.

We estimate future site development costs. We present these costs as cost per acre and cost per burial. This helps with budgeting and setting development funds and also helps establish realistic prices for products.

We provide summaries for all categories of land use. We also project the total burial capacity for the whole property and for each expansion. We suggest specific burial options and locations based on the area’s features and the cemetery’s market.

“Complete cemetery planning and design saves resources, which is important as development gets more complex and costly.” These assurances on future quality, function, yields and costs are more important now than ever.

Cemetery site evaluation services are on a time and expense basis. Cemetery master planning is normally done as a “lump sum” fee, based on acreage and site qualities. Contact us for estimates and quotes
