All Monuments placed on graves in Riverside Cemetery must be approved by the cemetery management. No monuments can be brought into

among other things. Once approved, the foundation installed will be set up.

Less than 4 Sq Foot    $125
4 to 5 sf                      $135
5 to 6 sf                      $150
Over 6 sf                    Call

Please read the Association By Laws for Rules and Regulations on purchasing and rights of ownership.

Note: To keep our cemetery fiscally viable, these fees may be increased periodically.
Due to huge costs such as Workmans Comp which is mandated by NYS along with other maintenance costs it is very difficult to keep a cemetery "in the black".
 The cemetery costs and future are also maintained by Interest on our Accounts and our above Sales and Fees.
  And we all know that not much Interest accumulates in these times.

 
Our other Income Stream depends on Donations. Please consider our cemetery when you are feeling
  generous.  Donations are typically placed in our Beautification Fund unless otherwise
  specified.

Should a Charitable Cemetery, such as ours, fail, it is turned over to the local Municipality. We have seen what can happen when this occurs.
