We understand that funeral arrangements are always difficult. Knowing that no one ever looks forward to entering a room full of caskets, we have designed our Selection Room in a way that will make these moments as easy as possible.
Caskets are made in a wide variety of styles and materials. They can be made from inexpensive materials, such as pine or a composite of hardboard and cost very little. Or they can be very expensive when made from the finest materials such as bronze or mahogany.
A casket is one of the most visible aspects of a funeral service. For this reason we offer caskets in a wide range of personalization opportunities. Casket interiors vary. Most are available with velvet, crepe or satin interiors. Because the needs of every family we serve differ, we offer a wide range of price categories. |

Most cemeteries require that that casket be placed in an outer burial receptacle capable of withstanding the weight and pressures of the earth above and surrounding the receptacle. A burial vault or grave liner is an outside receptacle usually made of concrete or metal that the casket is placed in at the cemetery.
Our Merchandise Selection Room provides samples of vaults and other outer burial containers for each family to preview and make their selection of choice. The grave liner is the minimum requirement for most cemeteries in our area. Burial vaults also insure the integrity of the grave while providing protection of the casket from outside elements. Burial vaults also provide the peace of mind that many of our families desire. Concrete burial vaults vary in thickness of concrete and type of inner liner. Metal burials vaults are available in bronze, copper, stainless steel, and galvanized and non-galvanized metal. |
Our staff can assist with floral tributes from family and friends. A wide variety of selections are available that can be displayed at the service, ceremony or visitation. |

MAUSOLEUM/CRYPTS
Crypts are designed to hold casketed remains. Following a casket entombment, the crypt is sealed and a granite or marble front is attached.
A community mausoleum is simply a large building designed to provide above-ground interment or entombment for a number of unrelated people. Sharing the cost of the mausoleum with other individuals has made it more affordable. Mausoleum crypts are both clean and dry. They offer a viable alternative for those who simply have an aversion to being interred in the ground. Furthermore, with the growing shortage of available land for cemetery use, mausoleums allow for a maximum number of entombments in a minimum amount of space.
INTERMENT RIGHTS
When you purchase interment rights you in fact purchase the right to designate who may be entombed or interred in the space, rather than purchasing the crypt/niche/grave or urn space itself, which remains the property - and the responsibility - of the cemetery. Interment rights include the right to place a memorial where permitted. In the case of a crypt or niche an inscription on the crypt or niche front.
A portion of the purchase price of all interment rights is contributed to an irrevocable fund, The Endowment Care Fund. Income from this fund is used to provide regular care and maintenance activities at the cemeteries. All interment rights are subject to the Cemetery Rules and Regulations, copies of which are available at the cemetery office.
