Burial Services

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.
