About Our Direct Burial and Funeral Services

Understanding Direct Burial

All of our burial services are based on direct burial, which means your loved one is buried without embalming, using a simple but dignified casket. This approach is not only more economical, but also more environmentally conscious than traditional burial practices that rely on embalming chemicals and elaborate caskets.

Direct burial alone provides essential professional care—removal, sheltering, basic preparation, and burial—without any formal ceremony. This allows families maximum flexibility to hold their own memorial service at a time and place that feels right for them.

Direct burial with services adds meaningful ceremonies to the burial process. Families can choose to include graveside services, chapel ceremonies, or both, while still maintaining the eco-friendly and economical benefits of direct burial.

Our experienced team provides the same level of professional, compassionate care regardless of which service level you choose. Every burial package is thoughtfully designed to honor your loved one with dignity while respecting your family’s values, budget, and environmental considerations.
