Funeral Services > Burial

Burial is a subject many like to avoid. There comes a time, however, when a decision must be made as to final disposition. Whatever you decide, it is wise to consider the emotional needs of survivors. By including your family and loved ones in your decisions, you may avoid the possibility of added stress during a difficult time. These choices may include any or all of the following: a service or ceremony at a church, funeral home chapel, lodge or other location; a visitation, public/private viewing or wake; and/or a graveside service.

Whether you choose earth burial, entombment or cremation, the expense can vary greatly, depending on your choice of services, final disposition, burial container or urn selection.

Your local Golden Rule funeral home can provide the information and cost breakdown to help you make the choices that best fit your needs, no matter what type of services you choose. If a burial site has yet to be selected, the funeral director can also provide information on cemeteries. Some cemeteries require that authorization forms be signed and financial arrangements made on property, while others require payment through the funeral home.
