Burial Merchandise

The selection of burial merchandise is wide and varied with many opportunities to personalize. What you select will depend on what you are going to do and where you are going to do it. A funeral service with burial in a cemetery typically requires a casket and an outer burial container. If a funeral service is followed by cremation and then the burial of the cremated remains in a cemetery, a cremation casket, an urn, and an urn vault are necessary.

If there is burial in a cemetery, most families also place a marker on the grave. Some families place a monument, often to mark multiple family graves. A cemetery often has requirements as to the types of markers and monuments they will permit. We are knowledgeable and able to assist you. After burial, many families are interested in decorating the grave; with our florist partner we offer a variety of cemetery decorations.

We also offer a selection of keepsake merchandise. These special items commemorate your loved one in unique ways. 

Whatever your needs and budget, numerous options exist. Visit the links below to learn more.  To personally view a broad range of caskets, vaults, urns, markers, and other memorial keepsakes, our private Merchandise Selection rooms offer information and provide privacy. Please let us know if you would like to visit.

Know that we will work closely with you to enable you to meaningfully honor your loved one.

Vaults

Vaults

Most cemeteries require that caskets be placed in an outer burial container to keep the weight of the ground from crushing a buried casket while also keeping the ground above from sinking in. Vaults can also be sealed to keep water and other elements out. We offer a variety of burial containers and vaults.
