What is the minimum size requirement for a proposed cemetery?

In Florida, the minimum size requirement for a proposed cemetery is 30 contiguous acres. This regulation ensures that there is enough space for interments, future expansion, and the establishment of appropriate facilities. The requirement for a minimum acreage helps to maintain the dignity of the burial process, provide for ongoing maintenance, and include necessary infrastructure such as roads and specific areas for different types of interments. By setting this standard, Florida aims to accommodate both current and future needs of the community regarding burial practices while adhering to health and safety guidelines.
