Burial Services

Our Burial Services

Our burial service packages differ based on the type of ceremony you would like to have along with the actual burial. We are fairly flexible in terms of the type of funeral ceremony you can have with the burial. Below we highlight our most popular burial packages.

Simple Burial

This burial package is the simplest type of burial service we offer. This package includes transportation of the body, casketing of the body, burial, and the completion of the appropriate paperwork. This package does not include any type of funeral service or ceremony.

Burial With Graveside Service

A graveside burial package includes the same components of a simple burial package plus the arrangement of a ceremony at the cemetery. 


Burial With Traditional Funeral Service 

A burial with traditional funeral service package includes a wake/visitation, a traditional funeral that usually takes place at a church, and a procession to the cemetery where loved ones say their final goodbye. Families often choose to hold a reception after the funeral service.

Why Choose Burial?

One of the most common questions we get asked is “why choose burial over cremation?”. If you are undecided we have provided a list of benefits of choosing burial to help simplify your decision. There is a wide variety of reasons why someone would choose burial, however the reasons listed below are what we have found to be the most common. 

Permanent Gravesite to Visit

One of the main benefits of choosing burial is that it provides a permanent gravesite or mausoleum for families to visit. For many people, having an allotted space at a cemetery where they can physically go to visit their loved one helps with their grieving process. Visiting the grave at the cemetery is considered by some to be a sacred event and allows them to feel a connection to their loved one. For some families, this is a major advantage of burial over cremation.


Traditional

Burial services tend to be the more traditional choice, and if you or your loved one are more conventional, then this would likely be the choice for you. It is very common for people to consider burial the default method of saying goodbye, and honoring their loved one. For most people, when they think of a funeral they generally envision a casketed burial service following the ceremony.


Natural & Peaceful Setting

Many people find cemeteries peaceful, beautiful, and are just a natural fit as a final resting place. What better place to celebrate the life of a loved one than under the open sky, beneath trees, or beside flowers? No matter the cemetery that your loved one's burial service is held at, the emotional and spiritual comforts of the natural surroundings will be keenly felt.


Allows for a Proper Goodbye

For many, a full funeral with a burial service provides the most effective way to mourn the loss of a loved one, get closure, and deal with their grief. Witnessing the coffin being lowered into the ground often gives people the closure they need during that time and is seen by many as a proper goodbye.  


Being Alongside Your Loved Ones

Another benefit of burial is that it offers the ability to lay to rest alongside your spouse, family members, or other significant loved ones. For example, if a husband passes away and is buried, his wife will likely be buried beside him so they can be alongside each other for eternity.

Quite often families choose to prepay for a set of plots so they can all be laid to rest beside each other. When purchasing a burial plot in advance, you can typically purchase a single plot, companion plots, which are typically meant for a married couple, or family plots, which is when a small area of the cemetery is dedicated to one family. This sense of being alongside your loved ones is a strong benefit of choosing burial for some.
