What is a subdivision of a cemetery containing several graves called?

A subdivision of a cemetery containing several graves is referred to as a "lot." In cemetery terminology, a lot typically designates an area that can hold one or more graves, depending on its size and the arrangement. It serves as a distinct section where individual plots for burial are allocated either for single graves or groups of graves designed for family burials.

Lots can vary in size and layout, accommodating various burial practices, and can be sold or owned by individuals or families. Understanding this term is crucial for both cemetery management and for families navigating their burial options.

While the terms "parcel," "block," and "section" are related to land and could pertain to subdivisions within a larger area, they are not specifically used to define the grouping of graves in a cemetery context like a lot does.
