A burial plot in a public cemetery: The average cost for a single burial plot is $200 to $2,000. Rural cemeteries fall within the lower end of the range, while urban cemeteries are in the upper end of the range, as land is at a premium. Plots for infants and children are less expensive.
Burial plots can range anywhere between $1,650 and $5,000, whereas a cremation burial space averages about $995. In 1980 about one in ten people who died in the U.S. were cremated, by 2012 this has reached 41% and by 2018 it is expected that at least half of all deaths will be followed by a cremation.
