The price of burials and care fees at the Neepawa Riverside Cemetery have increased. Town council approved the rise to the service charges during its last public meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
The rate increase includes a rise in the perpetual care fees from the 2014 rate of $843.31, to $1250.00. Seasonal care fees will go from $ 71.98 to $150.00.
The need for the price increase is due to the rising cost of care for the property. Upkeep for the Riverside Cemetery is estimated to cost around $250,000 a year, while revenues brought in from the accumulated care fees, at the 2014 rates are an estimated $23,000. The remaining costs are covered through the municipal budget.
