Earth Burials and Mausoleum Entombment


Earth Burial

Most people choose earth burial as the final location for their remains. This form of interment requires the purchase of a cemetery lot. Other expenses usually include a fee for the opening of the grave and perpetual care of the grave site. Monuments or markers made of granite, bronze, or marble are customarily placed upon the grave as a memorial to the deceased. They may vary considerably in cost and quality.

There are a variety of markers and monuments to choose from that can fit any budget. Please contact us for more information on styles, designs, and related costs.


Entombment

Also known as above-ground burial, entombment in a mausoleum is an alternative to earth burial. You may choose to purchase a crypt within a mausoleum. There are both indoor and outdoor mausoleums within cemetery grounds. Generally, the costs are comparable between earth burial and entombment.
