What can I do with my plot once I have purchased the interment right?

Like all other cemeteries and burial grounds, Congressional operates with a series of rules and regulations that reflect a commitment to safety, green initiatives, concern for the deceased and their families, and our historic landscape. Our rules and regulations outline specifications for the caretaking and adornment of plots, as well as other policies and procedures related to their care. If you need information about headstones, planting, and other care topics, please visit the Rules and Regulations page. If your question is not answered on this page, please email staff@congressionalcemetery.org for assistance.
