Graveside / Green Burial Service

Graveside / Green Burial Service

This service is held at the gravesite just before burial. It is a focused ceremony, typically shorter than a traditional funeral, and involves family and friends gathering around the grave. The service might include readings, a eulogy, prayers, and the placement of flowers or other tokens on the casket. It's a time for direct farewell and offers a deeply personal connection to the final resting place. This option is ideal for those who prefer an intimate and straightforward ceremony at the burial site.
