Why Choose Burial
When it comes time for you to make final care arrangements on behalf of a deceased family member you may be surprised to learn of the benefits of well-crafted burial services. During the arrangement conference with a funeral director you'll have the opportunity to discuss the features and benefits of graveside services and look at the top three reasons why families choose a graveside service:
Permanent Gravesite to Visit
One of the main benefits of choosing burial is that it provides a permanent place for families to visit. For many people, having an allotted space at a cemetery where they can physically go to visit their loved one helps with their grieving process. Visiting the grave at the cemetery is considered by some to be a sacred event and allows them to feel a connection to their loved one. For some families, this is a major advantage of burial over cremation.
Traditional
Burial services tend to be the more traditional choice, and if you or your loved one are more conventional, then this would likely be the choice for you. It's common for people to consider burial the default method of saying goodbye, and honoring their loved one. For most, when they think of a funeral they envision a casketed burial service following the ceremony.
Allows for a Proper Goodbye
For many, a full funeral with a burial service provides the most effective way to mourn the loss of a loved one, get closure, and deal with their grief. Witnessing the coffin being lowered into the ground often gives people the closure they need and is seen by many as a proper goodbye.
Natural & Peaceful Setting
Many people find cemeteries peaceful, beautiful, and are just a natural fit as a final resting place. What better place to celebrate the life of a loved one than under the open sky, beneath trees, or beside flowers? No matter the cemetery that your loved one's burial service is held at, the emotional and spiritual comforts of the natural surroundings will be keenly felt.
