Inflation for Funeral Costs

[rousemark]

The standard is around 8ft, anything less then that would cause me to look elsewhere.

Sorry... couldn't help my self.

I'll stop digging now and go grill.

When did they increase it from 6 ft. ?

It actually depends on the vault thickness that is used. And also if the grave is to have one passenger or two. Veteran cemeteries bury the second spouse to die right above the first one in the same grave space.

But they want around 3 feet of dirt on top of the vault ideally.

Just knew the expression I have heard all my life is "6 feet under"
