Direct Burial

What is a direct burial?

The body is buried shortly after death, usually in a simple container. No viewing or visitation is involved, so no embalming or dressing of the body is necessary. Some are cases where the family will request the body to be dressed and embalmed.

A memorial service may be held at the graveside or later. Direct burial usually costs less than the "traditional," full-service funeral.

Costs include the funeral home basic services fee, as well as transportation and care of the body, the purchase of a casket or burial container and a cemetery plot or crypt. If the family chooses to be at the cemetery for the burial, the funeral home often charges an additional fee for a graveside service.

 

INCLUDES:

  • The local transfer of the remains to the funeral home.
  • Services of the Funeral Director and Staff, securing necessary authorizations, basic local transportation of remains by livery to the cemetery and an alternative container.


DOES NOT INCLUDE:

Outer Interment Receptacle (if required by the cemetery) or Cash Advances, for example:

  • Religious expenses and Clergy honoraria
  • Cemetery - grave and or its opening & closing, mausoleum and or its entombment fee
  • Certified death certificate transcripts
  • Death Notice in newspaper
