In cemetery terminology, what does a 'plot' mean?

• A. A cemetery gate
• B. Two or more burial lots sold together
• C. A section of land within a cemetery
• D. A single burial plot

Answer: (B)

In Ontario cemetery terminology, a plot refers to a unit that includes two or more burial lots sold as a single parcel. This arrangement allows a family to have multiple adjacent graves under one ownership block, simplifying interment rights, transfers, and management by the cemetery. It’s different from a single burial lot (a single grave space) and from a general section of land or a gate, which aren’t about a bundled ownership of multiple grave spaces. That bundled unit is what the term plot specifically denotes in practice.
