Service Options

There are various burial services to suit your individual needs and preferences:

• Immediate Burial: The loved one is buried or entombed without a public service.
• Visitation (Viewing/Wake): Family and friends gather with the deceased in an open or closed casket to offer support and say goodbye.
• Funeral or Memorial Service: Held at a funeral home, church, or home, these ceremonies celebrate and honor the deceased's life and can be personalized.
• Graveside/Chapel/Committal Service: Held at the cemetery, allowing family and friends to be present during the final disposition through ground burial.

A common misconception is that cremation precludes having a funeral service or visitation. This is not true; you can still hold a memorial service to celebrate your loved one's life. There are many options for honoring their memory. After the cremation and memorial services, various choices are available for the final disposition of your loved one's remains.

• Interment: Bury or entomb your loved one's cremated remains in a family plot, memorial site, cremation niche, urn garden, or other indoor/outdoor locations. Consult our staff for detailed interment options.
• Graveside Service: Similar to traditional burial services, loved ones can honor the deceased at the burial of the cremated remains with memorial prayers and tributes.
• Scattering: Spread the cremated remains in a memorial garden, cemetery, over water, or any meaningful site. Some remains can be retained in an urn for interment or other forms of disposition.
• Multiple Urns: Distribute the cremated remains into multiple urns, allowing family members separated by distance to have a nearby resting place for their loved one.

For those who want to be more environmentally friendly with their end-of-life decisions, we offer green burial options. This way, you can honor your loved one’s life while reducing their environmental impact. A green burial service may be right for your loved one if they were an avid nature lover, worked in an environmental science field, or were passionate about living an eco-friendly lifestyle.
