Notes:

  • Cemetery Type (Large, Medium, Small, and Remote) is determined by annual workload (interments) and number of cemetery staff.
  • Functional Areas and maximum NSF are determined by Cemetery Type.
  • Net Square Feet (NSF) shown above are the maximum NSF eligible for grant funding.

* If the Administrative/PIC, Maintenance and Storage Areas are combined into one building, there shall be one shared space. If the buildings are separate, there shall be one space for each Functional Area as shown on the Matrix.
