A site cannot be reserved as arrangements are made at the time of a death. An adjacent site is then reserved for a spouse. There is a charge for opening and closing a grave. Munn, (10189 Music St.) Active Location: on the south side of Music St. just past Munn Rd. The old section has an unusual method of numbering, using letters for rows. Very few burials are made in that section. The new section is plotted out for four graves per lot. Sections and lots have not been identified for those marked "Unknown".
