There are three types of Final Disposition for one to choose from. With each type there are a variety of services and merchandise to enhance the funeral ceremony.

In-Ground Burial:

This form of interment is the most common type of funeral and requires the purchase of a cemetery plot, possibly a vault and a casket.

It is important when selecting your cemetery that you are aware of any religious affiliation they might have as well as any requirements and restrictions pertaining to vaults and monuments. It is common for a cemetery to require an outer container or vault in which to place the casket. You should also ask if the cost of the plot includes perpetual care.

Above-Ground Burial:

You may choose to be entombed in a mausoleum, which will require the purchase of a crypt in a building specifically designed for the placement of a casket or urn.

Cremation:

This alternative reduces a body to ashes. You may choose to purchase an urn in which to contain the remains. Selecting cremation does not preclude one from taking advantage of a full funeral service prior to cremation.
