Why Does a Cemetery Need Insurance?

Cemeteries manage public-facing grounds, specialized equipment, and sensitive operations. A single slip-and-fall, damaged headstone, or allegation of improper burial handling can lead to costly claims, legal expenses, and reputational strain.

What Does Cemetery Insurance Cover?

It can cover injuries on your property, damage to buildings and memorials, equipment losses, employee injuries, and liability tied to burial services, contracts, and third-party vendors working on site.
