Cremation Graveside Service
In our transient, mobile society where many families live apart from one another, those times when we come back together are treasured. This includes when a loved one dies and family and friends gather together to mourn the passing and commemorate the life. One of the most meaningful ceremonies is a graveside service, where you go the distance, accompany your loved one to the grave, and say your final goodbyes.

Value of a Committal Service
a Graveside Service is Important
While difficult, the graveside committal service is reported by most people as among the most rewarding experiences. According to one recent survey, 78% of consumers value the graveside service at the cemetery “as important as” or “more important than” the service conducted at the funeral home or chapel.
Graveside Service Options
There are many ways to pay tribute and commemorate your loved one at the graveside committal service. Personal stories, prayers, special music, memorabilia displays, balloon or dove releases are among the possibilities.
Talk with your funeral professional about graveside service possibilities.
Protection
An urn vault is a lined and sealed outer receptacle that houses the urn. It protects the remains from the weight of the earth and heavy maintenance equipment that will pass over the grave. It also helps resist water and preserves the beauty of the cemetery or memorial park by preventing the ground from settling.
