Burial Services

Understanding Burial Services

We have the deepest respect for this traditional practice. There are several things to consider when deciding whether to bury a recently-deceased loved one, or when selecting burial during funeral pre-planning. 

One of the first decisions you'll need to make involves choosing both the cemetery and the specific place of burial within its grounds. You'll then need to select a casket and possibly a burial vault, as many modern cemeteries require their use. At some point, and this does not have to take place right away, the decision becomes one of selecting the headstone or marker and writing the inscription.

An Invitation

We offer a number of affordable burial service options. They range from: simple burials where only a member of our staff oversees the interment, simple graveside services led by a minister or celebrant, or a traditional funeral service followed by burial. Each can be tailored to meet the needs and expectations of today's price-conscious families.

Reasons to Hold a Burial Service

When it comes time for you to make final care arrangements on behalf of a deceased family member you may be surprised to learn of the benefits of well-crafted burial services.


Simplicity:  Many people today want more simplicity in their lives; a natural, uncluttered, uncomplicated life. This is a desire which is nothing new. The simplicity of a graveside service does just that.

The Natural Setting:  What better place to celebrate the life of a loved one than under the open sky, beneath trees or beside flowers? No matter the type of cemetery, the emotional and spiritual comforts of the natural surroundings will be strongly felt.

Religious Requirements:  There are profound religious reasons families choose burial services over any other. For example, the Christian concept of resurrection of the body is deeply held by many and makes burial an act of religious fidelity. Jewish families and those practicing Islamic traditions also have strong religious and social commitments to burial that must be respected.

What's Involved in Planning a Burial Service?

All reasons aside, there are three areas of concern: the selection of cemetery and burial property, choosing a casket and burial vault; and planning the details of the graveside service. We can help.
