Burial

This page may be especially interesting to some, as deciding between burial and cremation is one of the first choices you must make. It is that from which all other choices you make in relation to a funeral will stem.  It should be your decision, and not what you're relegated to!

"Disposition" is the general term used by the funeral industry to describe the final handling of the deceased's remains.

Although your initial decision for the disposition of the body is between burial and cremation, there are several variations on each.

 

Burial Choices

If the body is buried:

  • It can be interred (earth burial)
  • It can be entombed in a crypt within a mausoleum (above-ground burial)
  • It can be buried at sea
     

Why people choose burial

Although the trend is moving toward cremation, the majority of North Americans still choose to bury their dead and to be buried themselves. Here are some reasons you might choose burial.

1. Burial is traditional within your family, religious group, or geographical area

  • For instance, in the United States today, about 79 percent choose burial. In Canada, the rate is about 64 percent.
     

2. You do not like the idea of the body being "burned"

  • You prefer to have the body slowly return to the elements.
     

3. You want to erect a monument on the grave

  • Perhaps you want to visit the grave in the days or years to come, and would like to give family, friends, and future generations a place to visit.
     

Decisions You Must Make If You Choose Burial

  • Whether or not the body is to be embalmed
  • Which kind of casket, and possibly vault, will house the body
  • What casket to purchase
  • Whether or not the cemetery requires a vault or grave liner
  • Which cemetery to use
  • What kind of plot location within the cemetery
  • What type(s) of gravestone does the cemetery allow to mark the grave
  • What to put on the gravestone
