1. Do I need to have a Service?
A “burial service” is not required, but recommended as an opportunity for family and friends to gather and pay their final respects and share memories.
2. Do I need to buy a casket?
Yes, a casket is required. We have a wide variety of caskets available in different styles, finishes, and price ranges.
3. Can more than one body be buried together?
Caskets are designed to only hold one person. Some cemeteries will allow you to purchase a companion plot for either side-by-side burial plots or a double depth plot to have the caskets stacked on top of one another. Please consult with the cemetery before making any decisions.

Tent Sheltering at Cemetery
Burial is the process of interring the body into the ground using a wood or metal casket. In some municipalities,
the option of above ground burial in a mausoleum is available. As part of burial process, the body may or may not be
embalmed. For ground burial, a protective outer container or casket vault may be required by the cemetery to provide stability for the grave.
An example of what most cemeteries look like
Cremation is the process of exposing the body to intense heat within a retort, reducing the body to bone fragments.
The bone fragments are further processed into fine particles of ash for placement in an urn.
The urn is then returned to the family for their preferred choice of final disposition.
