As a caring family funeral home, it is our duty to provide families with information regarding their burial options. On this page, we review different types of burial as well as options for burial plots.
In-ground burial is the most traditional burial option. Often, the body is first embalmed because the family wants to hold a visitation where the casket is open. However, embalming is not required.
In-ground burial options consist of 5 components:
1) Casket - Holds the body of the deceased.
2) Gravesite - The plot or space where your loved one will be buried.
3) Headstone and Grave Marker - These two burial monuments generally contains:
4) Burial Vault - Used to support the soil above and around the casket. Often they are made out of concrete and lined with plastic.
5) Gravesite Preparation & Maintenance - A plot needs to be dug into the ground and later back-filled. Some landscaping work may also be needed to restore the gravesite’s original appearance.
