Lutz Cemetery Perpetual Care
For each burial site or columbarium niche sold, Lutz Cemetery designates 40% of the gross sale into the Lutz Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund. This amount exceeds the national standard, yet ensures our cemetery can fund special grounds projects and improvements in addition to the regular maintenance required for the cemetery.
The monthly cost to maintain the cemetery grounds and oversee cemetery projects is $4200 (this does not include the actual costs for renovation projects).
Donations are welcome and appreciated, and allow us to do more than just the basics.
