what this service entails
A resting place, beautifully kept
Choosing burial means giving your family a place to visit for generations — a headstone with a name to touch, a garden bench to sit on, flowers to bring in spring. Our memorial park holds traditional lawn plots, a mausoleum, and a dedicated natural-burial meadow.
Your funeral director prepares everything: the opening of the grave, the tent and seating, the coordination with clergy or celebrants, and the gentle pacing of the day itself.
- Traditional ground burial in our memorial park lawns
- Natural green burial in the wildflower meadow
- Mausoleum crypts and cremation niches
- Graveside tent, seating, flowers and printed programs
- Headstones and markers designed with local artisans

Natural burial in the meadow
Our two-acre meadow is mown only twice a year. There are no vaults, no chemical preparations — only a biodegradable casket or shroud, native grasses, and a fieldstone marker engraved by hand.
Families often tell us the meadow feels less like a cemetery and more like a walk they take together. You're welcome to visit at any hour, with no gates between you and the person you miss.
questions families ask
Burial questions
Can we hold the whole service at the graveside?+
Yes — many families choose a single graveside gathering with seating, music from a portable speaker or live musician, and a celebrant. It is intimate, unhurried, and often deeply moving.
Do I need to buy the plot now?+
No. At-need plots are selected with your director on the day you meet. Pre-selecting a plot ahead of time, however, locks in today's price and spares your family the decision.
What does natural burial exclude?+
Only concrete vaults, metal caskets, and conventional embalming. Everything that comforts — flowers, readings, music, gathering — is warmly welcome in the meadow.
