The advantages of buying the burial site in advance

In the biblical age, the burial of a deceased was considered a matter of considerable importance. Abraham, the first person expressly mentioned in the Bible, paid a fair sum of money to get a proper burial place. Like him many, and of different cultures, with farsightedness, they provided to be executed a worthy burial.

We think it is a good norm, in life, to think well in advance of buying the burial site and the tomb, because, in addition to exempting us from any stressful situations, it brings considerable benefits, including:

• savings on the costs of the headstone;
• tax benefits for funeral expenses, including cemetery tombstone works and the related funeral accessories (vases for flowers, votive lamp, porcelain photo and relative frame, letters for the composition of the epigraph, brackets/bolts or studs for supporting the headstone etc.);
• risolution of a series of funeral fullfillments;
• advantages of early purchase the burial place.

Cost salvings and customization of the headstone

The direct and anticipated purchase of the funerary accessories necessary for the composition and customization of the gravestone (flower vase, votive lamp, porcelain photo and relative frame, letters for the composition of the epigraph, brackets or studs for support, floral motifs, parchments, plaques, chandeliers), represents an opportunity for savings for the client, who will be able to evaluate carefully and move towards careful choices, choosing quality products at advantageous prices. The customization adds value and beauty to the tombstone, because it reflects, almost always, through the choices of those who provide it, the memory of a characteristic feature or an important moment in the life of the beloved one.

Tax relief for funeral expenses

Among the advantages mentioned above, the possibility of deducting funeral expenses from the tax declaration, is an opportunity to be taken into consideration.

Therefore, all those wishing to deduct funeral expenses from the tax declaration must keep the following documentation:

• invoices or tax receipts certifying the cost of the funeral: the invoices and/or receipts issued by the funeral homr and the florist, the receipt of payment of the cemetery fees paid to the municipality, funeral announcements etc., are included in this type of documents.

Purchase of the burial site

The identification, in advance, of the burial place offers the advantage of securing the desired place in the cemetery chosen (near the road, in the shade of a tree, near the chapel etc.) or an entire area, buying contiguous places, for family needs. Sometimes, by tradition, monumental tombs are preferred; in these cases, the early choice can result in a significant investment, because the mausoleums require the purchase of a land suitable for the type of construction. In addition, early purchase allows you to seize innovative opportunities: for example, to build a steel tomb. The bio-building constructions, in fact, are enjoying a good success because they are fast, flexible and sustainable architectures.

Resolution of a series of obligations

Solving all the problems that will concern the "after" (from the funeral arrangements, to the identification of a funeral agency, to the purchase of the burial place and the tomb) gives a certain tranquility and allows to make prudent purchases.
