<br />Fiscal Year 2024/25 Cemetery Operations Budget
<br />The Library and Recreation Department, with support from the Public Works Department,
<br />manages the operations of the Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery. Given the nature of the work, it
<br />is difficult to predict the number of burials and associated revenue in a given year. In FY
<br />2024/25, the Library and Recreation Department estimates total revenue to be $230,000 in
<br />casket and cremated remains plot fees. The total expense is estimated at $410,083. The
<br />primary cost of $363,000 is contract services to maintain the cemetery grounds, sell plots, and
<br />coordinate and conduct burials.
