Traditionally,the funeral will be a Complete Funeral Service. This includes a family orpublic viewing of the deceased. Following this will be a service, typically in thechurch or at the funeral home. This would be followed by the earth or aboveground burial of the casketed remains. Caskets selected may cost from severalhundred dollars to several thousands of dollars depending on the material thecasket is constructed of. Many cemeteries require that a minimum grave liner beused to encase the casket when earth buried. These minimum liners areconstructed of concrete and are designed to hold the weight of the earth,maintaining the cemetery property. A sealed vault may also be used. The vaultsare also constructed of concrete and are designed to not only protect thegravesite, but are manufactured with inner liners that not only restrict theentrance of graveside elements (water and earth) but increase the strength of thevault.

TheGraveside Service can be another selection. This many times would follow a timeof visitation at the funeral home. The casketed remains would then betransferred to the cemetery where a graveside ceremony could take placefollowed by the burial.

TheComplete Cremation Service is another type of selected offering. This servicewill be just like a Complete Funeral Service except cremation will followinstead of the casketed burial. This can be accommodated by the use of acremation casket (casket that is designed to be cremated) or even a rentalcasket may be used. Following the viewing, service or ceremony, and eventualcremation, the cremated remains can be buried, properly scattered, or returnedto the family for safe keeping. Urns are used to hold the cremated remains.Urns can be constructed out of basic materials like cardboard or plastic, orconstructed out of more protective materials like basic and semi-preciousmetals, ceramics, and woods.
