PLANNING AHEAD, CEMETERY PLOTS
Recently the cost for Cemetery Plots at the Nishmat Am section at Restland Memorial plot have increased. While we try to keep the cost of the plots at a level rate, pricing will continue to be subject to change as our costs for the plots rise.
 
Purchasing a plot now protects from you from any price increases. In addition, purchasing a plot now saves the family much stress of having to pay it in full on the day it is needed.

For information about the purchase of cemetery plots contact Stanley Siegel at 972-618-2200 or [email protected]
 
You may also want to consider a full pre-need package to arrange for all details of a funeral in advance. If you are interested in pre-need, contact Stan Friedman at Dallas Jewish Funerals (972-424-1141) or Rabbi Jordan Parr at 214-734-0204.
