How much does a burial plot cost for a cremation?

A burial plot typically ranges from about 1,000 dollars to several thousand, and in some areas it can run much higher. Public cemeteries tend to be more affordable, while private and urban cemeteries often cost more. Prices also depend on the location within the cemetery and whether you want a single or family plot. Veterans may qualify for free burial in a national cemetery, which can save a family this expense entirely. For a cremation, costs range from around 2,000 to 4,000 dollars for a simple direct cremation up to about 6,000 dollars if you add a service, and you can still hold a memorial before or after.
