If all interment rights holders are deceased, the estate of each retains ownership of the interment rights, and any further activity will require legal documentation to be filed with Green Hills Memorial Park. You may make allocation for future use of both interment space and inscription space on an existing memorial. The Cemeteries Act prohibits the private resale of interment rights. You may, however, transfer your interment rights to third party. This would require you to surrender your Interment Rights Certificate to Green Hills Memorial Park so that the transfer of ownership may be recorded.
Interment rights held by a person who dies, become part of the estate of the deceased.
Certain documentation will be required, and since these vary according to the type of ownership and whether or not a will exists, a call to Green Hills Memorial Park is the utmost importance. All arrangements may be made in advance. When you plan ahead, you will be able to consider the many options available for commemorating a life. You will have the opportunity to make an informed decision about your funeral and cemetery arrangements, and the form of memorial you prefer. You will be able to make choices that are meaningful to both you and your family, and you will gain peace of mind knowing your family and friends will be relieved of the emotional and financial burden often associated with making arrangements when a death occurs.
