Cemetery Insurance
Historically, many insurance carriers have been charging Cemeteries rates that are equivalent to far more hazardous occupations. The exposure of a backhoe in a cemetery is far less hazardous that the exposure of a backhoe on a construction site where it is much more likely to incur bodily injury and property damage such as damage to underground wires and tanks. An employee working at a grave site doesn’t have the same exposure as an employee working at a construction site at the edge of a highway. In essence, Cemeteries have been subsidizing some of these other industries for years. In conjunction with some exceptional insurance carriers we have put together a program for you that will price your insurance appropriately and end the overcharging of your industry. It’s important to be with an insurance company that understands Cemeteries and prices them accordingly. Contact us today for a no-obligation quote!

Testimonials
”We moved most of our insurance to Chittenden about two years ago following a competitive bidding process. Since then we have consolidated all of our coverage, including medical, with Chittenden. I really can’t say enough about the quality and responsiveness of the service that we have received. The employees of Chittenden take an interest in our business and in addition to excellent service, they have given is great advice, especially as it relates to safety issues and our worker’s compensation package. I really can’t say enough about how pleased we are to have Chittenden on our side.”
