PLOT AGREEMENT FORM - OLD CEMETERY

RULES & REGULATIONS

OLD CEMETERY
Chalkhead Baptist Church - Ozark, Alabama

​

​

Signs and locks will be placed on all double-entry cemetery gates. Anyone needing access through these gates must first contact a member of the Cemetery Committee. Single gates will remain unlocked to allow regular visitation. 

​

There is no charge for burial plots for church members, their spouses, or dependent children.

​

For non-members, the requested donation is $1,500.00 for the first two single plots and $750.00 for each additional plot. A single cremation plot for non-members is available for $500.00 and measures 3 feet by 3 feet. Two cremation plots will measure 3 feet by 6 feet. (Note: two single plots cost $800.00.) All donations are due at the time markers are placed and will be deposited into the Cemetery Fund.

​

Plot sizes are limited to 5 feet by 11 feet for one person and 10 feet by 11 feet for two people. These size requirements apply to both members and non-members. Any request for a larger plot must receive church approval.

​

To reserve a burial plot prior to death, four concrete or granite corner markers must be placed—one at each corner—with the initial of the family’s last name engraved. Additional markers or coping may be placed around the plot. If coping is used, it must connect closely with adjacent coping so that concrete can be poured between plots.

​

No new trees or shrubs may be planted in any portion of the cemetery.

​

The church reserves the right to refuse a burial plot to non-members.

​

All designated plot information will be submitted to the church secretary.
