Years ago my parents had the foresight to attempt proper planning for this unexpected life event. In the 70's my parents bought a crypt and then some 20 years later paid for the opening through Lake Lawn's monthly pay plan. The opening contract did indicate the crypt opening contract was for a Monday thru Friday service. They had it all figured out to properly prepare and remove this part of a loved one's loss well in advance. Failure to contact Lake Lawn for a price on opening the crypt on weekends seemed unnecessary. My mother secured the church first when my father passed and then the funeral home. On to Lake Lawn to arrange for a Saturday opening. One can only image what felt like a fallen bomb shell when Lake Lawn charged $800 for a Saturday opening. With arrangements already secured (I.E.- funeral home, obituaries, clergy men, etc), scheduled and New Year's Eve being on a Monday moving this emotional event would have been easier said then done. In my opinion a $800 charge for a Saturday opening is absurd and outrageous. My poor mother in her time of distress was shell shocked and blinded sided with the additional amount of money to be paid out. Buyer Beware!
