Frequently Asked Questions

No. Williamsburg Memorial Park is open to the general public. There are no residency requirements, and everyone is welcome regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or orientation.

This is actually called an interment fee. This is a fee for the time and work associated with the burial, as well as the filing of important documents and records.

Yes, burial containers are a park requirement, but we do offer several options for religions that require direct ground contact. Please consult one of our Family Service Counselors for more information.

We have dozens of beautiful cremation options available, including buried, estates, cremorials, mausoleum niches, ossuaries, scatterings, and urn gardens. Please visit our Property Options page and select the Cremation Button to see our various cremation options.

Occasionally, we’ll run specials on lots, merchandise, flowers, and other services. Please visit our Specials page for our current offers.

The outer burial container protects the casket. Plus, it prevents excessive cemetery ground sinking, which can occur over time if this item is not implemented.

Please download our Immediate Needs Checklist, which will guide you through the funeral and burial process, or contact one of our Funeral Service Counselors.

Although we don’t have a designated “section” for veterans, we’re very honored to have more than 1,300 veterans buried throughout our park. Whenever a veteran is laid to rest, we always fly our flag at half-staff and, upon request, will fly the service branch flags of your choosing.

We also keep detailed records of veteran burials, and with the help of our local veterans groups and the Boy Scouts of America, we place flags on every veteran’s grave twice a year. We also host an annual Memorial Day Service and will occasionally host special events, like the World War II 70th Anniversary Wreath Laying event.

And finally, we can help you prepare and file the forms you’ll need to obtain your veteran’s funeral benefits and a memorial.

Yes. We have a 20-year expansion plan that ensures we can meet the needs of our growing community. In the summer of 2024, we began construction on two New Columbaria positioned at the left and right of our community mausoleum. Our new solid granite Columbaria will feature 144 cremation niches and hold up to 288 cremains. Starting at just $2,995, it’s the perfect choice for couples and individuals, offering a premium location at an amazingly affordable price.

In 2018, we opened Cambridge Gardens, which offers more than 1,000 traditional burial sites and 2,500 cremation niches. It also includes an obelisk ossuary inspired by the Washington Monument, which will accommodate an additional 800 cremation burials and 20 private niches. With easier accessibility, upgraded landscaping, and a unique design, Cambridge Gardens will likely become one of our most popular sections.

At this time, more than two-thirds of our cemetery grounds remain undeveloped.

Burial rights, also called “spaces” or “plots,” is the right to be buried in a selected space within a cemetery.

Possibly. We are members of the ICCFA Credit Exchange Plan, but not all cemeteries are. There are some limitations, but basically, you‘ll get a dollar-for-dollar credit for the property you purchased at another participating cemetery.

The ICCFA Exchange Program also applies to the mausoleum and estate properties. The transfer allowance for these types of properties is generally higher than traditional burial properties. For more information, please contact us.

Yes. Our Family Service Counselors are always happy to speak to your group members.
