Burial Services

We offer a range of burial services tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences:

Traditional Burial: A funeral service with visitation, followed by burial in a cemetery. The body is placed in a casket and interred, with a permanent memorial at the gravesite.
Immediate Burial: A simple option where your loved one is buried or entombed without a public service.
Visitation (Viewing/Wake): A gathering of family and friends with the deceased, either in an open or closed casket, providing an opportunity to say goodbye and offer support.
Funeral or Memorial Service: A ceremony to honor and celebrate your loved one’s life, held at a funeral home, church, or another meaningful location, with options for personalization.
Graveside/Chapel/Committal Service: A service at the cemetery where family and friends can gather for the final disposition through ground burial or entombment.

Cremation Services

A common misconception is that choosing cremation means you cannot have a funeral service or visitation. This is not the case; you can still hold a meaningful memorial service to celebrate your loved one’s life. There are many ways to honor their memory, and after the cremation and memorial services, you have several options for the final disposition of their remains.

Traditional Funeral Service Followed by Cremation: A formal funeral service with visitation and ceremony, followed by cremation instead of burial. Offers flexibility with the handling of cremated remans.
Interment: Lay your loved one’s cremated remains to rest in a family plot, memorial site, cremation niche, urn garden, or other meaningful indoor or outdoor locations. Our staff can guide you through the available interment options.
Graveside Service: Honor your loved one with a service at the burial site of their cremated remains, featuring memorial prayers, tributes, and moments of reflection.
Scattering: Choose to scatter cremated remains in a special location, such as a memorial garden, cemetery, over water, or another meaningful site. You may also retain a portion of the remains in an urn for interment or other keepsake purposes.
Multiple Urns: Divide the cremated remains into multiple urns, giving family members in different locations a personal connection and a nearby resting place for their loved one.
