Many ask if you need to plan your funeral before making cemetery arrangements. The answer is no, in fact many start their end of life plans by first deciding on their cemetery preferences. To start the arrangements, all you need is:
- name of the cemetery
- deceased’s full name, birth date, and date of death
- the relationship to family: spouse/partner, parent, grandparent, friend, etc.
- decision on permanent resting place: burial plot, cremation niche, mausoleum, etc.

Sometimes it's not just the casket that is buried. An outer burial container is important to protect the casket with either a grave liner, or an entire vault. The weight of the earth as well as some maintenance equipment can damage the casket and cause the ground to settle imperfectly. Having an outer burial container will ensure that a casket will last, and if you contact us at 206-842-2642 we will take the time to explore what's possible.
