Cemetery Plots to be Offered to Families of Pulse Victims

One of the agenda items for the June 20th City Council meeting regards the families of each of the 49 victims of the Pulse shooting on June 12th. 

The agenda item states these families will offer the following at no cost: 

  1. One burial space in Greenwood Cemetery 
  2. All opening and closing costs associated with burial ($595) 

The spaces will be together in one section of Greenwood. 

Orlando City Code Chapter 16 provides that the City shall sell burial spaces in Greenwood Cemetery for prices fixed by the City Council.  City Council has previously set a price of $1500 per space for City of Orlando residents and $3000 for non-City residents.
