Mausoleum Traditional In Ground Cremation Military Burial
Traditional In Ground
Interment in a grave remains the most widely used form of burial. Graves are generally of two types, either permitting a lawn level marker, or permitting a raised family monument. All cemeteries are "zoned" for aesthetic, operational and maintenance reasons. Traditional In-ground double-depth burial consists of one space above the other. When a family monument lot is chosen, the minimum sized lot is four graves. Lawn level marker graves which are located either in traditional sections with family monuments, or in special religious feature sections that are exclusively marker graves, are the most commonly selected graves. Monument type graves are more expensive since they require more space. Future care of all graves is included in the purchase price.
