Fees
- For a plot with a traditional monument - a one time fee - $450

Eligibility & Regulations
Eligibility For Burial
- Have a family member buried in Gafford Chapel Cemetery, or
- Have a historical family connection to Gafford Chapel, or
- Live within the vicinity known as the Gafford Chapel Community, or
- Be approved by the Board of Directors
Regulations
- Graves are not to be decorated with any items that might get scratched. Flowers need to be in receptacles made for that purpose, either concrete, stone, or plastic.
- No items are to be placed on or next to graves that hinder the maintenance crew from mowing, Examples: benches, chairs, plants, trees, etc. (There are some things that have been "Grandfathered" in, but will be removed when they become un-usable.)
- Cremation names can be added to monuments, but if plaques are put in the ground they must be low enough so that the mower can drive over them. The maintenance fee has been added because research shows that they will eventually become loose and will need to be reset from time to time.
- All grave sites must have a headstone marker or monument, including those that are just for cremation burial only.
