Burial Services From $3695
A traditional burial service typically includes a visitation followed by a funeral service. During these events, the casket is usually present, and whether it remains closed or open is entirely up to you. Several important decisions must be made regarding the burial process. These include whether embalming is necessary, selecting a casket, choosing a cemetery, and determining what will be inscribed on the gravestone.

Cemetery Types
Monumental Cemetery
A monumental cemetery is the classic type of burial ground where headstones or other memorials, typically made from marble or granite, rise vertically above the ground. There is a wide range of headstone designs available, from simple and understated to large, intricate monuments.
Lawn Cemetery
In a lawn cemetery, graves are marked by small commemorative plaques placed at ground level at the head of the grave. While the plaques are often standardized, families still have the opportunity to personalize them by selecting the information to be included, making it a meaningful tribute.
Mausoleum
A mausoleum is a free-standing structure built as a monument to house the burial chamber or interment space of the deceased. This type of building can be considered a tomb itself, or the tomb may be located inside the mausoleum, offering a private, above-ground resting place.
Columbarium
A columbarium is a structure designed to house cremated remains. While families may choose to keep the ashes at home or scatter them in a special place, a columbarium offers a designated location for loved ones to visit and pay respects. These walls are compact and serve as a more affordable alternative to traditional burial plots.
Natural Cemeteries
Also known as eco-cemeteries or green cemeteries, natural cemeteries provide a peaceful, environmentally conscious burial option. These cemeteries are typically located in natural woodlands and offer a sustainable way to return to nature. Traditional headstones are often replaced with a tree, shrub, or a simple natural stone to mark the grave.
