People are mortal, so some conscientious citizens would like to purchase a plot in the cemetery. Thus, they would like to at least a little facilitate the preparation of the funeral and the bitterness of irreparable loss for their loved ones.
Purchase is not possible, only the right to use
It must be remembered that it is impossible to buy a place in a cemetery, that is, to pay money for it to receive it into property, it is the law of the Russian Federation. You can get this site only for use, and indefinite, but not own it.
It turns out that theoretically - an abandoned grave can easily be transferred to another person when the maximum permissible period of desolation expires.
However, in Moscow, the city can dispose of this land at its own discretion, if it turns out that the site has been abandoned for a long time, no one takes care of the grave.
When the day of the funeral is appointed, money is paid to the cashier of the cemetery. But they, too, are not a means of payment for the ownership of a land plot; for a given amount of money, only the right to its unlimited use is acquired. The cost of use may include some additional services, for example, the improvement of the territory adjacent to the grave, digging the grave on the eve of the funeral day, and the provision of a ritual elevator-singumator.
Site cost and additional services
The cost of a plot in Moscow cemeteries ranges between 16,000 and 40,000 rubles, for more accurate prices in a particular place, visit the specialized site “Moscow Cemeteries”. According to the payment agreement, the person who applies for the provision of the burial service becomes responsible for the grave. After that, this person acquires the right to re-register the burial, but this is problematic.
They will have to confirm their relationship with documents.
If this citizen (s) dies, subsequent burials can be performed by heirs of the 1st stage, but younger in age.

Unexpected costs imposed by the employees of the cemetery can be avoided if certain points are included in the contract at the time of registration of the right to use the site.
