Family Estate Plots in Metro Vancouver & Fraser Valley
A Legacy Resting Place for Generations
A family estate plot is a larger cemetery property designed to hold multiple family members within a dedicated section. These estates often include side-by-side graves, companion plots, or even private areas with benches, landscaping, or custom monuments.
Families choose estate plots to create a shared legacy space where loved ones can rest together for generations to come.
