Interments

For the published fee, JCGC will provide the following for a standard earth interment burial service, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.:
1.  Opening of the selected gravesite.
2.  Preparation of the gravesite:
      a. Placement of greens (carpet) around the grave (if requested) and covering the dirt mound.
      b. Assistance to the vault company in the placement of the vault.
      c. Placement of the casket-lowering device, up to 6 chairs, and other site preparations.
      d. Up to one hour at the graveside after arrival of the congregants.
3.  Assistance to the funeral director and the rabbi.
4.  At the conclusion of the service, JCGC staff will place the vault into the grave, close the grave, and, as soon as feasible, replace the sod or plant grass seed, restoring the surrounding gravesites to a reasonable condition. JCGC staff will maintain the grave throughout the year.
5.  Placement of a temporary marker with the deceased’s name and burial date for up to a period of one year.

Additional fees will be charged (a) when the funeral procession arrives at the cemetery after 3:00 p.m. or for services on a Sunday or civil holiday, or (b) for time, materials, and service beyond the above standard interment services. Fees will be based on the personnel hours involved at the current labor rate. Reimbursement for rental or purchase of special equipment and/or supplies will be based upon the actual cost to JCGC.

No burials or other services shall take place on Shabbat and certain Jewish holidays (see Appendices A, B, and C), except in the case of contagious disease, when health regulations so require.
For those cemeteries that permit cremation interments, JCGC will provide the same range of services at the published fee, as outlined in the preceding paragraphs. An urn vault is required for earth cremations and will be provided by JCGC at the listed price. Additional fees may apply.
