The following original documents will need to be presented: • Marriage Certificate • Birth Certificate for child(ren) DID YOU KNOW? 1. The cost of an Oneida Cemetery plot is $100. Whereas, most local cemeteries in and around Oneida cost $500 or more. That’s a savings of $400 or more. 2. That every cemetery charges a fee to mark, open and close a cemetery plot prior to burial, usually starting at about $600. Currently, if the Oneida Department of Public Works (DPW) is able to perform this service the fee charged is $250 and must be paid before the burial occurs (It’s important to note that these fee’s are subject to change and will be assessed only at the time of burial) 3. That on average a burial in the Oneida Tribal Cemetery provides a total savings of up to $1,300 compared to the local cemeteries. To purchase a plot, you may either contact the Enrollment Department or stop in our office. We encourage scheduling an appointment just to make sure that everything is prepared for you upon your visit. In order to ensure your cemetery plot selection the Cemetery Plot Purchase Request form would need to be completed and the $100 plot fee paid. Burials are permitted everyday. However, the Enrollment Department requires a twenty-four (24) hour notice so that we can ensure everything is properly done before a burial. Cement liners or vaults are not required. However, if a cemetery liner or vault is purchased; the vault company is required to contact the Enrollment Department to set-up a delivery and installation date prior to a burial. Jeffrey S.
