What term describes the cemetery area containing multiple grave spaces?

• A. Lot
• B. Plot
• C. Section
• D. Range

Answer: (A)

In cemetery terminology, spaces are organized into larger parcels. The area that holds multiple grave spaces is called a lot. A lot is a defined parcel designated for burial that can contain more than one grave space, sometimes including several plots for family members. Within a lot you might have individual plots for each person, but the overall lot is the unit that encompasses multiple graves. A section is a broader division of the cemetery, and a range usually refers to a row within a section, so they don’t describe the area that contains several graves as directly as a lot does.
