When planning a funeral, there’s lots of details to manage – from the casket and flowers to the makeup and the burial clothes, it can all get very overwhelming very quickly. One thing many people don’t consider, though, is that after the burial, your loved one will be placed in their grave, which will likely be their final resting place for years to come. Choosing the right grave construction company can make this last part of your loved one’s journey as easy as possible on you and your family members as you mourn through this difficult time. Here are some tips on how to do that!
The Importance of a Proper Grave
It is the final touch to a funeral service, but it often gets overlooked. Grave construction is an important part of a funeral because it provides a place for loved ones to visit, reflect, and say goodbye. It also gives meaning to the life that has been lost. In Uganda, executive tomb finishers are on call 24 hours a day to build graves for any customer who needs one. These experts have knowledge of how the deceased lived and died, which helps them construct an appropriate grave.
The Process of Constructing a Grave
Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world with a GDP per capita of $1,195. However, when it comes to death, Ugandan funerals are among the most expensive anywhere. Executive tomb finishers offer service packages for both graves and caskets that can cost as much as $3,000. This is typically more than 10 times the average annual income of Uganda’s population.
The Different Types of Graves
The variety of graves available are memorial markers, cremation urns and niches. Memorial markers can be made from a number of materials such as granite, bronze or marble. Niches provide a space for the urn to be placed and typically need to be mounted on the wall. Cremation urns are designed to hold the ashes of the deceased person. Executive tomb finishers will construct a grave that is commensurate with your loved one’s needs, tastes and budget.
The Cost of Constructing a Grave
We offer two types of grave construction services, each with its own set of price points. These prices depend on a number of factors, such as the type and size of the grave site. To help you better understand our pricing structures, we’ve put together this table to list our rates for each service.
As you can see, the cost for a slab covers is much less expensive than a full-body burial. But if you’re on a tight budget and want to save money on your funeral expenses, then choosing an option that doesn’t include grave construction might be your best bet. We can also provide other types of burial options that are cheaper than our standard grave construction costs; just ask one of our funeral directors about these options when it’s time to make arrangements.
