Chapel and graveside services
For those who find solace in a more traditional funeral, even with cremation, you can still opt to have chapel, church and graveside services honoring your loved one.
Closure
Everyone finds closure and copes with loss in their own way. For many, this means having a viewing and visitation. In the grieving process, even with cremation, this can still be a fundamental part of the arrangements. Before the cremation, through viewings, you can honor the life and spirit of your loved one and bring closure for the surviving family and friends.

Today’s choices for monuments offer opportunities to make a statement about the unique nature of that life. Family and friends can experience a deeper sense of connection with their memories and with one another in a tranquil setting of a cemetery that is guaranteed to be maintained forever.
Memorialization
Traditional or contemporary, customized choices for burial and cremation memorialization are as limitless as your imagination. Some options include:
• Bronze memorials, Installed on a granite base and set flush with the ground. Bronze is also the memorialization for outdoor columbarium niches, which hold cremated remains.
• Upright monuments, Made from the finest granite quarried worldwide, and installed on a concrete foundation to avoid future leaning.
• Benches, and garden features such as rocks and sundials are unique ways to honor the memory and pay tribute to your loved one. This may be subject to cemetery bylaws.
• Outdoor columbarium niches. These are often surrounded by gardens, trees and nature, these outdoor features allow for a personal and tranquil setting.
• Crypts are family memorials that can be built to accommodate multiple generations. These can range from modest to elaborate and are personal reflections of the family. The options are endless.
• Mausoleums are climate-controlled, indoor buildings that house both crypts and niches. Certain areas are designated or blessed by religious leaders or allow for specific family customs. These are not available in all areas.
Your loved one’s memorial can be made even more unique with an engraved picture, special scene, or epitaph.
