Traditional Burial
Whether for religious reasons, the desire to be in a family plot, or simply the personal preference of conventional practice, traditional burial has been valued by families since time immemorial. Historically, this option has been a rite of passage and a collective ritual that confronts the reality of death, reintroduces survivors to social groups as persons who have been changed by loss, and has the potential to trigger a measure of community support.
The structure of traditional burial can also prove to be a vehicle for grief work and can be a therapeutic act for participants who share in the experience. We understand and honor all of these facets by drawing on our years of experience to serve you well during difficult times.
