We offer in-ground full size casket interments, in-ground cremation interments, and above ground (Columbaria niche) cremation interments.

Anyone can be buried in the Bloomington City Cemetery.

You can view available cemetery lots and Columbaria niches here: https://www.cemify.com/cem/bloomington.  

Note that the inventory is continually changing, contact the City Clerk’s Office to verify the availability of a specific lot or niche.

To best serve you and ensure that we have a meeting room available, we ask you to make an appointment. Appointments are available on Wednesday afternoons.  Please make an appointment here.

Please note that we will not schedule an interment until payment is made in full, you have received confirmation of payment, and the preferred date is available.

Prior to interment, we need the original cremation or deposition certificate as well as the dimensions of the urn if it is a cremation. We require the burial certificate (permit) for a full casket.

We require at least 48 hours notice to schedule an interment.  Please note that we are closed weekends and holidays.

There is an additional charge for interments on weekends and holidays.

Caskets must be enclosed in either a concrete burial vault or grave liner interred by a vault company.

Urn vaults are optional and will need to be interred by a vault company.

Please email (preferred) cemetery@bloomingtonmn.gov or call (952) 563-4925 to verify who the deed holder is.  Please note, only the deed holder of the lot can authorize a burial in that lot.  If the deed holder is deceased and did not file a future authorization for burial with the City Clerk’s Office, the surviving family must complete a cemetery questionnaire.  The questionnaire needs to be reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office and can take one to two weeks.

The deed holder can authorize an additional interment.

Allowed numbers and combinations are:

• Cremation Lots (4’x4’) may have one of the following:
  • One urn vault (may have one or two urns inside)
  • One urn
  • Two urns (each no larger than 12”x12”)
• Full Burial Lots (4’x8’) may have one of the following:
  • One adult vault
  • Four urns
  • One adult or child or infant vault and two urns
  • One adult vault and one infant vault
• Columbaria Niches may have up to two sets of cremains, provided they fit in the 11”x11”x11” niche.

Please see our cemetery brochure for current prices.  Preferred pricing is available for residents of Bloomington at the time of death, those who lived in Bloomington for at least ten years, or are spouses, children (or their spouses) or the parents, grandparents, or grandchildren of those qualifying.

You can purchase the lot or niche and pay the marker placement fee.  Due to changing prices, all other costs must be paid when scheduling interment. 

You may transfer ownership of your lot or niche by contacting the City Clerk’s Office by either emailing (preferred) cemetery@bloomingtonmn.gov or by calling (952) 563-4925.  You will need to complete the required paperwork and pay the title transfer fee.
