Burial Assistance. The Burial Assistance Program offers assistance to income eligible Washington, DC residents only who need help with funeral costs.

I've heard as shallow as 18 from the top of the outer burial container, to 6' deep. Thank you for your prompt response. Not every state has laws concerning the depth of graves. If you want to check if there are any laws in your state, you might check with the State Health Department. Where there are not state laws (or local ordinance) each cemetery sets its own regulations. The concept of a burial being six feet deep goes back to a time in our history when people were not buried in concrete, metal or fiberglass outer containers and sometimes not even in caskets.
