No problem Walter, short answer is no. Digging or any other work or alterations can only be performed by a licensed and insured, Holly Hill employee. It is a criminal offense for anyone other than Holly Hill to dig on the hallowed cemetery property. There are many legal and practical reasons for this. Having anyone come out and start digging without knowing where all the current burials and lot pins are, would not only be irresponsible and disrespectful but also illegal. Holly Hill has a very strict records policy as you may imagine to make sure everyone is laid to rest in the right location and can be found for generations to come. We have many checks and balance systems in place to ensure this accuracy. When you consider we have over 10,000 residents laid to rest here it is mind-boggling for most people to imagine organizing and keeping accurate records on a number like this and over a 70 plus year time span to boot. Please call so we can go over your options.
Thanks for your response,but the other part of my question was can I dig the hole and how deep,paying someone is a problem,but would like to place headstone,also can there be more than one person.
You would have to go to the Office and Talk to the People at the Cemetery. I have no idea about the rules of the Cemetery. I just visiting my family and friends, and enjoy the Peace and happiness for which they provide My loved ones.
