Perpetual Care & Maintenance Fee

Last Updated: 22 February 2015

Perpetual care is included with all new purchases of Perpetual Easements for Interment.

Revenue received from the City Cemetery is to be reserved as a special trust, which is known as the "Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust." Annual earnings of this trust may be disbursed for Cemetery maintenance.

The City encourages the conversion from an annual maintenance fee to Perpetual Care for previously purchased cemetery lots through the office of the City Clerk. Individuals with purchased lots that have not been converted to perpetual care must continue to pay annual maintenance fees. The City Clerk's office is located at 1401 Walnut Street. To reach the office by phone, please dial (601) 634-4553.
