Terms and Renewal Fees for Burial Land Leases at Pondok Ranggon Public Cemetery

Burial land leases generally last up to 3 years. After that, the family may apply for an extension, with the first three years costing 50% (fifty percent) of the levy stated in the Regional Regulation.

For the following three years, the family may apply for another extension at a cost of 100% (one hundred percent) of the levy. This extension can be applied for up to 3 (three) years after the lease period ends.

If the family does not apply for an extension within those three years, the land will be used for a new burial. Meanwhile, those who wish to lease shared burial land will pay a separate fee of 25% (twenty-five percent) of the levy.

Leasing shared burial land means reserving a plot for more than one body. In other words, the grave will be reused by another family once the lease period has expired.

This practice is very common in big cities like Jakarta due to limited burial land. Graves whose leases are not renewed may therefore be used again by others for a set fee.

So, do these rates include digging, tent, and maintenance costs? The answer is no.

In Pondok Ranggon specifically, the burial fee at Pondok Ranggon Public Cemetery covers only the land lease. Digging and grave closing, tents, headstones, ambulance hire, and other items require additional costs.

You should budget around IDR 100,000 for ambulance hire and around IDR 75,000 for body preparation equipment. Including these, the total comes to IDR 275,000.
