Q: Q: Am I required to buy a burial vault (outer burial container)?

You are not required by law to purchase a burial vault. However, most cemeteries do require that you purchase an outer burial container in order to be buried properly. These cemeteries have established this requirement because vaults help to maintain the integrity of the grave by preventing the ground from sinking. We can assist you in determining whether or not the cemetery that you have selected requires an outer burial container.

Q: Q: What can be done with the cremains?

The cremains can be inurned in a cemetery or scattered in a scattering garden, which is a specially designated area of a cemetery. The cremains can also be placed in a niche in a mausoleum. You may choose to scatter or bury the cremains on your own property or on another person’s property, provided that you have first obtained his or her permission. If scattering is chosen, we have a selection of urns specifically designed for the scattering process available at the funeral home.
