The Traditional Burial

Most people are familiar with what is known as the 'Traditional Burial', which continues to be the preferred choice among families. The traditional funeral service is generally structured around the following elements:

  • Transfer of the deceased from the place of death to the funeral home for preparation
  • A period of visitation, of usually two or three days, during which time the deceased lies in rest in an open or closed casket
  • A public or private ceremony in the Funeral Home Chapel, or church of one's choice
  • Committal service and burial in a cemetery
  • Memorialization - the placement of a permanent marker - at the burial site
You are invited to inquire about our wide array of funeral articles at your leisure by visting our Products section or Contact a Carnell's Funeral Director for personal service.
