Burial Options

A Community Mausoleum is the ideal option for those seeking a traditional burial with a casket and wish to have their final resting place be above ground. Mausoleum burial is clean, dry and ventilated, and it compares favorably with the cost of in-ground burial by eliminating lots, vaults, monuments or memorials. Simply put, Community Mausoleums are buildings that house many Crypts & Niches. Many people prefer Crypts as they protected from all of the changing elements present in ground burial. Crypt ownership provides year round visitation, regardless of the weather, in a beautiful, inspirational setting.

Those looking to have several family members together in one cemetery in a particular section should explore the two Family Estate options.

Family Monuments: Family Monument sections are blocks of the cemetery reserved for a family and loved ones. Each section usually has an upright monument and adjoining families will be buried beside their graves. These spaces accommodate 2-16 family members depending on selection.

Private Estates: The Private Estate selection commonly accommodates 2-8 loved ones and is usually walled and gated or hedged by vegetation. The gates, walls or hedges are usually 2-3 feet in height to provide a fully private section. For those wishing to have a private or semi-private estate, this would be the best option.

Ground burial provides traditional memorialization familiar to many cultures.   Catholic Cemeteries provide ground burial options for both traditional burial and cremation selections.   Casketed burials are accommodated through the use of Burial Vaults or Lawn Crypts.  Graceful lawns adorned with statuary and trees provide attractive surroundings.  Flush Granite and Bronze Memorials are employed throughout along with in-ground vases.
