Interment & Plot Options


Interment Services

This covers the grave preparation for interment during regular cemetery hours. Included is excavation, setup of the lowering device and greens, closing the grave after the service and landscaping of the site. A part of this fee contributes to maintaining permanent records in the cemetery office for future generations. Please contact the office for information on disinterring of human remains.

During the winter months the interment preparation requires longer time for snow clearing and digging through ground frost. Winter fees are adjusted to reflect these extra costs.

Winter Rates November 15 - April 30
Summer Rates May 1- November 14

Below is an outline of the different interment services that Sunshine Cemetery offers. Please note that the opening and closing service fees are included in each of the options.


A. In-Ground Casket Plots

Our casket plot offerings are outlined below. All fees include a mandatory contribution for the first interment to the Perpetual Care.

A total combination of four interments (i.e. casket and cremation) is allowed in one plot.

Example #1 (2 caskets & 2 cremations)
In this scenario, the first casket is interred at nine feet and the second casket at six feet. Two cremations are interred at three feet.

A deepening charge will be applied to the first casket interment. Please see the fee brochure for applicable rates.

Example #2 (1 casket & 3 cremations)
The first casket will be interred at six feet followed by three cremations at three feet.

Note, if a cremation was interred prior to a casket interment and the wishes are to continue with a casket interment, the cremation will be raised in order to allow for the casket to be interred.

Monuments must be purchased through a monument dealer. The sizes of these monuments vary and are designed to have anywhere from two to six niches. Each niche can hold two cremation urns.

Please see the fee brochure for applicable rates.


A . Adult Casket (Including Vault)
i) Fiberglass Dome

Each casket interment must be covered by a fiberglass dome which protects the casket from the weight of the soil and heavy machinery. Families can opt out of using a fiberglass dome if they purchase a concrete vault instead. A fiberglass dome may be purchased from a funeral home if it meets the cemetery Bylaws and Regulations. Please see the fee brochure for applicable rates.

ii) Fiberglass Base and Dome

For additional protection to the casket, a fiberglass base along with the fiberglass dome can be purchased. This is optional. Please see the fee brochure for applicable fees.

iii) Non-Sealing Concrete Vault

A non-sealing concrete vault is similar to a fiberglass dome, protecting the casket from the weight of the soil and heavy equipment. The concrete vault will provide more protection than a fiberglass dome. Please see the fee brochure for applicable rates.

iv) Sealing Concrete Vault
