The Bremen Town Council members unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance that amends cemetery fees.
Clerk-Treasurer Janet Anglemyer said the ordinance addressees the increase in grave fees, gate times, and additional charges.
The ordinance outlines a cost of $500 for a full-size grave and $150 for an infant grave. Grave opening costs vary upon the day of the week and if it is a full-size, infant, or cremation opening.
The chapel will be available for services at the Bremen Cemetery for a fee of $200. Use of the chapel for services shall be mandatory, when, in the opinion of the cemetery sexton, adverse conditions, weather or otherwise, shall warrant such use at no charge.
A public hearing on the ordinance amendment will be held during the Bremen Town Council meeting Monday, November 13 at 4:30 p.m. ET at the Bremen Town Hall. The new fees will not be in effect until the ordinance is passed on three readings and for 30 days after advertisement.
