Burial Services

At Seefeld Funeral & Cremation Services, we want to make sure that you are informed about the different types of burial services available. We think that this is important so that you can make the right choice about how to say goodbye to a loved one.

Understanding Burial Services

We have deep respect for this traditional practice, which dates back centuries. Its ancient origins make burial seem familiar and straightforward, but there are several important things to consider:

One of the first decisions involves choosing a cemetery and the specific place of burial within it. You'll then need to select a casket and possibly a burial vault, as most cemeteries today require their use to prevent the ground from collapsing with time. 

Arranging the burial service itself may seem daunting, but tradition dictates the choreography of the event, and a funeral director has the experience to help with the details.

At some point, and this does not have to take place right away, one must select a headstone, or marker, and the inscription.

Consider the Options

We offer a number of affordable burial service options. They range from simple burials where only a member of our staff oversees the interment; simple graveside services led by a minister or celebrant; and a traditional funeral service followed by burial. Each can be tailored to meet the needs and expectations of your family. Each can be lovely, touching and poignant.

How to Plan a Burial Service

Graveside services have been seen in numerous Hollywood films and television productions. Due to their portrayal on screen, most people are familiar with the appearance and format of a traditional graveside service. However, when it comes time to make such arrangements on behalf of a deceased family member, it can be challenging to turn it into a truly meaningful, personal event. A member of our staff can help.

Reasons to Hold a Burial Service

You may be surprised to learn of the benefits of a well-crafted burial service. Here are several reasons why families choose a graveside service:
  • Simplicity: People today hunger for greater simplicity in their lives. Consider various religious orders that strive for a simple, sincere approach to life. We long to focus on what is most important, and the simplicity of graveside services does just that.
  • The Natural Setting: Can there be a better place to celebrate the life of a loved one than under the canopy of nature? No matter the type of cemetery or burial service, the emotional and spiritual comforts of our natural surroundings will be keenly felt by all who attend.
  • Religious Requirements: There are important religious reasons families choose burial services over other final-care options. For example, the Christian concept of resurrection of the body is highly regarded and makes burial an act of religious ceremony. Jewish families and those practicing Islamic traditions also have strong religious and social commitments to burial.

Reasons aside, let's look at what's involved in planning a burial service: the selection of cemetery and burial property, choosing a casket and burial vault, and planning the details of the graveside service.
