The earliest human burial dates back 100,000 years, making it one of the oldest and most widespread of traditions.
We have deep respect for this traditional practice. Its ancient origins make burial seem familiar and straightforward, but there are several important things to consider:
One of the first decisions involves choosing a cemetery and the specific place of burial within it. You'll then need to select a casket and possibly a burial vault, as many modern cemeteries require their use. Arranging the burial service itself may seem daunting, but tradition dictates the choreography of the event, and our directors are ready to help with the details.
At some point, and this does not have to take place right away, one must select a headstone, or marker, and the inscription.
At Brintlinger and Earl, we offer a number of affordable burial service options. They range from simple burials where only a member of our staff oversees the interment to simple graveside services led by a minister or celebrant. A traditional funeral service followed by burial is another option.
Each can be tailored to meet the needs and expectations of today's families without compromising quality or dignity.
We're ready to listen. Feel free to
