Care Fund
The Care Fund is for the perpetual upkeep and care of the cemetery and the grave spaces* therein. Each plot that is sold is required to assign a percentage of that sale to a fund for maintenance, repair and staffing requirements.
The monies are deposited into a separate holding account and cannot be withdrawn under any circumstances. The interest of the Care Fund is used for ground keeping, upgrades to the property, and cemetery personnel.
* Grave space means the area used or intended to be used for interment of a deceased person either in the form of cremated remains or a deceased body in a casket in a lot.
