More Than $100,000 in Grant Funding Awarded to Ohio Cemeteries to Support Maintenance and Training

October 07, 2024

The annual grant is funded by $1 of every $2.50 from burial

permit fees received by the Division. Cemeteries that applied

and did not receive funding this year are encouraged to apply

again next year.

In addition to registering cemeteries in Ohio, the Division
administers the Ohio Cemetery Dispute Resolution Commission,

which assists in resolving complaints filed against registered
cemeteries through mediation and conciliation.
