If you are in the process of selecting cemetery property please know the difference between your area cemeteries. There are for-profit and non-profit cemeteries in your area and the people who assist you may or may not work on a commission basis. The reason I tell you this is cost and obligation have alot to do with it. Cemeteries are only required by Florida law to provide refunds within 30 days of the date you purchase and sign a contract from them. If, after 30 days, you change your mind about where you wish to be buried, you have the right to resell a burial space to a third party at anytime, once it is paid in full. So make sure you take the time to check around to verify the costs involved as the cemetery is not obligated to purchase them back.
PRICES VARY GREATLY!!! If you have been given a certificate for a free space you may in turn be obligated to buy another in order to have a family member near you. At that time the person assisting you may in turn offer caskets, funeral services, and burial vaults as well. DO NOT SIGN THE DOTTED LINE THE FIRST TIME AND IMPLUSE BUY! It is your consumer right to visit other cemeteries in your area to find out what they offer as well. Once you find the one that fits your needs and pocket book and you are comfortable with the process then purchase.
EXERCISE YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT! DO NOT GET PRESSURED TO BUY, INSTEAD YOU CONTROL THE DECISION AND MAKE IT YOUR CHOICE!
