A traditional burial is a long-standing practice in which the body of the deceased is prepared, typically through embalming, dressed in chosen clothing, and placed in a casket for viewing during a visitation or wake. This is often followed by a formal funeral service, which may take place in a funeral home, place of worship, or other meaningful location.
After the service, the casket is transported to a cemetery, where it is interred in a grave. The burial process may include a graveside service with prayers, eulogies, or other rites of passage. Traditional burials often involve the use of burial merchandise such as caskets, burial vaults or grave liners, headstones or grave markers, and floral arrangements.
This type of burial allows family and friends to gather, pay their respects, and honor the life of their loved one in a ceremonial and culturally significant way.
A graveside burial is a ceremony held at the burial site, typically following a funeral or memorial service, where family and friends gather to witness the final interment of a loved one.
This service often takes place outdoors at a cemetery and may be simple and brief or include prayers, readings, music, and personal tributes.
Immediate burial is a simple, cost-effective funeral option in which the deceased is buried shortly after death, without a public viewing, formal visitation, or traditional funeral service beforehand.
