Re: Grave Sizes A standard grave is 2 1/2 feet wide by 8 feet long, according to the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association. These dimensions take into account room for a marker or headstone.Click to see full answer. Thereof, how wide and deep is a grave?To meet regulations the average single depth grave is about 3-4 feet deep. Already we see that two out of the three grave depths are deeper than 6 feet (or 1.8 meters). Tripple depth is significantly deeper and double depth is noticeably deeper, being almost 7 feet.Additionally, do graves get dug up after 100 years? Legally, graves cannot be sold for more than 100 years. However, we write to owners every five years offering the opportunity to ‘top-up’ their lease. In this manner, the grave can stay in the family indefinitely, though ownership will never be issued beyond 75 years. Additionally, why is a grave 6 feet deep? To Prevent the Spread of Disease As mentioned earlier, London officials and medical practitioners in 1665 mistakenly thought that deceased plague victims spread the disease (among many other erroneous explanations), and that burying these bodies “6 feet under” would help slow/stop the spread of the disease.How wide is a double grave? Monument common sizes Double grave. Two or more names. 42” x 8” x 26” (Tablet on Base. 54” x 14” x 8” or larger.)
