UNDERSTANDING THE TRADITIONAL BURIAL OPTION

Burial is one of the most traditional methods of memorializing a person. If you choose a traditional burial for your loved one, the person’s body will be gently prepared for the upcoming ceremony, either in the form of an open or closed casket.

You will also choose a casket to house your loved one’s body (unless the deceased person has already done this through pre-burial planning). Once the casket is chosen, your loved one will be laid to rest in it and buried in a cemetery of your choosing.

A memorial headstone or marker can then be placed on the gravesite, and the area can serve as an important site for friends, family, and loved ones to visit and remember the deceased for years to come.
