Choosing Traditional Burial

Why Choose a Burial Service?


There are several reasons why families chose a burial. Not only does the traditional aspect provide a sense of comfort and familiarity; it also provides them with a sense of closure.

 A Place to Revisit

Burial creates a place for the deceased’s loved ones to revisit when they wish. It inspires a sense of comfort and connection when holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries arise.

The Natural Setting

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have used burial services to honor a loved one’s death. When you plan a burial service under the open sky and the beautiful landscape of a cemetery, the natural settings are emotionally and spiritually comforting.

Religious Practices

For families of certain faiths, burial is the preferred method of disposition. Members of the Christian, Jewish, or Islamic faiths have strong religious and social commitments to burial.

The Importance of Witnessing

Burial has been the traditional way to care for a loved one’s remains for thousands of years. Many families have said that they feel a burial service is an act of respect, and a significant ritual symbolizing closure and finality.

Discussions and Decisions

If burial or entombment is the right choice for your family, there are some important things to consider. 

Talk about these decisions with your loved ones and make your wishes known. This will help them move through the funeral planning process more smoothly and relieves them of the burden of heavy choices after your passing.
  • Do you wish to have your body embalmed?
  • What style of casket and vault do you prefer? 
  • What is your budget for the casket and vault purchase?
  • Where do you wish to be buried?
  • Do you own cemetery property (i.e. plot, grave or mausoleum)?
  • If you do not own cemetery property, what are your plans for purchasing? Is there a family plot, perhaps?
  • What type of monument, headstone, or marker would you prefer?
  • What would you like included on your monument, headstone, or marker?
Research the financial costs of a burial service, and establish a budget. This will make the arrangement process much easier and avoid creating any financial stresses.
