Content: 4. How Much Does a Grave Plot Cost? The cost of a grave plot depends on a number of factors, including: Cemetery location
Section in the cemetery
Type of burial plot
Style of burial plot
Term of the right of interment (i.e. 25 years to perpetual)
Perhaps the biggest determinant of price is the location of the cemetery. In metropolitan areas, where there is a limited amount of space, prices have risen dramatically over the past decade as cemeteries approach capacity. For example, in Sydney, the cost of a cemetery plot has doubled over the past 5 years, and a basic lawn grave at Waverley Cemetery starts at $21,200 and rises quickly to $52,000 for more expensive options. To give you an idea of how much a grave plot costs around Australia, we have sampled the prices for a standard lawn burial plot and a monumental burial plot at some of the major cemeteries in each state.
