What is
the availability of graves and what is the cost?
The City of Mesa Cemetery still has gravesites
available for sale in Heritage Garden, which is the
section West of 12th Street, near the
Country Club Drive entrance. This section allows
only flat markers. All other sections of the
cemetery are sold out.
Costs for graves can be found on our
Fees page.
Note: Owners very
rarely return graves to the Cemetery. Any private
sales can be found in the newspaper or on websites
such as gravesolutions.com.
What decorations can be placed
on the grave?
Decorations can be placed on a grave, niche, or urn
garden; however, they must be placed in an approved,
permanent flower vase. All other decorations are
subject to removal AT ANY TIME for maintenance and
safety purposes. The only exceptions are funeral
arrangements and certain holiday decorations.
Glass, fences and
plantings (including sod) are strictly prohibited.
Holiday arrangements are allowed only on the
following holidays and will be removed 10 days after
the holiday: Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day,
Memorial Day, Father’s Day and Veteran’s Day.
What do I do
if the earth around a monument or on a grave is
settling?
Contact office staff and they will process a work
order to backfill the grave or raise and level the
monument.
What cremation options does the
cemetery provide?
Two cremation urns can
be interred in one grave, niche, or urn garden.
Cremains can also be scattered in a designated area
at the Rose Garden. The niches, urn garden and
scattering garden are located North of the office.
Costs for cremation options can be found on our
Fees page.
How do I
purchase a monument for a grave?
A
monument can be ordered through any monument company
or mortuary. Companies can be located through the
phone book. The City of Mesa Cemetery installs all
monuments and foundations.
