Earth Burial Options

For a traditional earth burial, the following arrangements need to be made. We are here to help you. Please contact us 48 business hours prior to the funeral so that we can ensure the site is prepared for burial.  

Note: if you or someone in your family owns a family plot, please confirm plot ownership, and that there is space available. The plot owner must approve and sign for all arrangements. For more information, see Plot Ownership Transfers.

Payment for services at time of death is on a cash only basis. However, if you make pre-arrangements for you and your loved ones, you have the following options:

• Auto-debit (starting in September 2012)
• No Interest or Administration Fees.
• Plans for up to 3 years
