On EverJewish you tell the Jewish cemeteries near Minneapolis once what you're looking for and each answers you with its own availability, requirements and prices; no calls until you're ready.

Whether plots are available now and to whom (members, the public, or pre-sold only); who may be buried there, including a non-Jewish spouse and section rules; the total cost in writing; the cemetery's rules for the monument; and which funeral homes it works with. Jewish funerals are not held on Shabbat or festivals, and customs vary between communities — the family's rabbi decides what is right for them.
