Burial/Cremation

Burial / Cremation

Choosing Burial
When choosing burial for your loved one, you will often be asked for the type of grave selection you require. Many options are available and may vary from cemetery to cemetery. These options vary from a single grave for one burial only, you may choose to have the grave double depth to allow for two burials in the one grave, you may also choose to have a plot reserved beside your loved one for future use. These are just some options and we can discuss fully the options to you when you have decided the cemetery of your choice.

Most newer cemeteries these days are operated as a lawn cemetery. Some older cemeteries still operate as a monumental cemetery. This may also be of importance to you as to whether you prefer lawn or monumental cemeteries. Invariably cemetery fees are less expensive in country areas, however this may not always be the case.

Choosing Cremation
When choosing cremation, most families will normally choose the closest crematorium available to them. Most crematoriums offer you a peaceful, tranquil setting in which to hold the funeral service. Following the cremation there are a variety of memorialisation options available for the ashes of your loved one, such as crematorium memorials, placing the ashes in a family grave, memorialisation at home in a cabinet or urn, scattering of the ashes in a favourite place. There is no right or wrong way to make a lasting memorial.
