The City of College Station has announced when its new cemetery will be unveiled, but the sales are still lagging well behind expectations.
July 17 is the big day for the 56-acre Memorial Cemetery out near Easterwood Airport. Twenty acres of that is the Aggie Field of Honor, with more expensive plots facing the Texas A&M campus and featuring Aggie décor.
According to the latest numbers, 407 sales have been made for the Aggie Field. The city had initially hoped to make 1,300 sales by September, and are now hoping the opening of the completed cemetery will boost sales once people see the site.
The city's only current cemetery is nearly at capacity, forcing the creation of a new site anyway. For the standard cemetery at the new site, 84 sales have been made.

The prices for the plots and niches in this cemetery are very low compared to the national average.
What I wonder is why the city gripes about Weingarten cutting down all the trees at Rock Prairie when they did almost the same thing at this cemetery site. Also why would you expect anyone to pay these prices in the landing zone for Easterwood. I live six miles away in Bryan on the same line and really get tired of planes going over head
I kno I want to pay extra to be buried like a dog facing kyle field.
