Burial Services
Honouring Tradition with Care and Compassion
We understand the importance of honouring a life through a meaningful and personalized burial. Our role is to provide compassionate guidance and support, ensuring that every detail reflects your loved one’s wishes and your family’s needs.
What is a Burial Service?
A burial service is a ceremony that allows family and friends to gather, remember, and lay their loved one to rest. It may include a full funeral with visitation and a chapel or church service, or it may be a smaller, more intimate graveside gathering. No matter the format, our goal is to help you create a farewell that feels personal, respectful, and comforting.
Burial Service Options
 
Traditional Burial
A visitation or viewing, followed by a funeral ceremony and graveside committal. Families may choose our chapel, a local church, or another meaningful location, and personalize the service with music, readings, or eulogies.
 
Graveside Services
A simpler service held directly at the cemetery, often shorter and more intimate, allowing loved ones to share final words or prayers before burial.
 
Immediate Burial
For families who prefer simplicity or whose faith requires it, an immediate burial involves interment without a formal service beforehand. Families may choose to hold a memorial gathering at a later date.
 
Green Burial Services
An eco-friendly option that minimizes environmental impact by using biodegradable caskets, avoiding embalming, and choosing natural resting grounds. This choice is meaningful for families who value sustainability and wish to return to the earth naturally.
Personalizing the Service
Every burial can be tailored to reflect the unique life it celebrates. Families often choose to include:
- 
Floral tributes created by local florists 
- 
Photo displays or video tributes to share memories 
- 
Special music or readings with personal significance 
- 
Unique casket or urn selections to reflect personality and taste 
 
Planning Ahead
Pre-arranging a burial service ensures your wishes are clearly documented and relieves your family of making difficult decisions during a time of loss. Prepayment can also secure today’s prices, protecting against rising costs in the future.
