Jde.Our remaining family members opt for cremation.I lost my daughter to cervical CANCER 2 years ago come Dec 8th. We still have her Urn here. and will place her ashes on the hill come spring(maybe NOT) we still think about her as still here. I Know she is'nt physically here and we sure miss her so.Funeral expenses are so far out of line(for us) that cremation is the most frugal way. and the least damaging to the family finances.I know,some would call us cheep azzes, but all of the family members doesn't intend to make morticians wealthy at our expense.All the un needed expense of funeral, grave, perpetual care,,vault,preachers sermon cost, and as someone said here, the minister really doesn't know the person who passed away (as well as family members do) so for us Cremation is the answer. Scattered ashes, small grave,on family ground seems to us ,to be the answer. My family's thoughts and prayers goes out to you on the impending passing away of your mother. My Mother lived to be 95 years old before she passed away. Longevity doesn't necessarily mean a pleasant existance for those who are experiencing it ,nor the family members who are surrounding the cherished member.J de Your kind heart WILL KNOW THE ANSWER WHEN THE TIME COMES, If what you intend to do with her remains(Home burial Plot)is permissable under N.Y Laws, and it is your wishes, then do it if that is what you want. The next paragraphs are from E-How,and I don't know if you've read it or not,but just sending it in hopes that it will help.I send this to you with MY WARMEST REGARDS POSSIBLE, LOU AND FAMILY!
New York State Burial Laws .

Print this articleRelated Searches: Death can be a scary business, especially when one considers how expensive funerals can be. Today, family and friends that are burying a loved one need to think about caskets, body prepping, funeral costs and burial grounds. Each state has rules and regulations regarding burials, and in New York, the New York State Cemetery Board is in charge of administrating cemetery law. The purpose of such laws is to set standards for the establishment, maintenance and preservation of burial grounds in New York.
Cemeteries Under Jurisdiction Cemeteries must be established under the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law to be under the jurisdiction of the New York State Cemetery Board. Cemeteries that are religious, municipal, private, national or family-owned don't have to follow board regulations. A cemetery under the jurisdiction of the NYSCB cannot refuse burial on their grounds except for reasons of non-payment. There is a grave purchase price, internment charges and a lot tax that must be paid before a person can be buried on the cemetery grounds.
Burial on Local Land There are no state regulations prohibiting burials on private property, but there are local regulations that hinder it. In these cases, local restrictions are binding. In the same way, there are no state mandates on the minimum depth of a grave, but there are local regulations that require a certain burial depth. For example, the city of New York requires that the top of the coffin be at least three feet below the ground, but it can be two feet underground if the body is in a concrete vault.
Burial Rules New York law dictates that you can decide how you would like to dispose of your remains whether it be by cremation or burial. It is most practical to leave written instructions so there will be no confusion over your wishes. You can also purchase the deed to your burial lot, including a contract and receipt that proves ownership so that your place of rest will be retained. However, you're not actually the owner of the property; you simply have the right to be buried there, memorialized there and to vote at lot owners' meetings. You can sell your cemetery lot as long as it's free of remains, but you must first attempt to sell it back to the cemetery at a reasonable price before finding an outside buyer.
