Sylvan Funerals Burial Services<\/h3><\/div>

Burial may be seen as a more traditional option, however once again comes down to personal preference. A burial is where the coffin or casket is lowered into a burial plot, and the gravesite is covered with soil once the funeral service is over. In the case of a vault burial or crypt, the site is not covered with soil, but rather sealed.<\/p>\n

For a burial service you will need to decide on a coffin or casket, and the preferred location of the burial plot. We can assist you in making the arrangements to purchase a new gravesite, unless a burial plot was purchased in advance in which case the burial will take place at the existing or reserved gravesite.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Does Family Need To Attend The Burial?<\/h4><\/div>

This is a personal choice. You may decide to not attend the graveside burial which may follow a Church Service or Chapel Service.<\/p>\n

In this instance, our funeral directors will attend to the burial while you remain at the service venue with guests or gather with guests at the wake for refreshments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How Do I Arrange A Plaque Or Monument Gravestone?<\/h4><\/div>

Depending on the cemetery, the cemetery office will generally mail out information relating to arranging a plaque or monument gravestone following the service. Some smaller cemeteries don\u2019t offer monumental services, in which case you will need to engage the services of a Monumental Mason.<\/p>\n

We work closely with our private monumental mason, so speak to us about our Monumental Work options.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
