Choosing Burial Over Cremation?
One of the first, and most significant, decisions your family will face is whether to choose burial or cremation. If your family has a history of choosing burial, already owns cemetery plots, or simply feels that burial is the most fitting tribute, Chapel Ridge Funeral Home & Cremation Centre is here to support you in making these arrangements with care and understanding.
Our Commitment: Dignified Services at Fair Prices
At Chapel Ridge, we believe that honouring your loved one should not be measured by how much you spend. We are committed to providing dignified and respectful burial services at fair and reasonable prices. You can trust us to guide you through your options without up-selling or encouraging you to spend more than you are comfortable with or is necessary.
Understanding Your Burial Options
When you choose burial, there are several ways to lay your loved one to rest. We will help you understand each option:
- Earth Burial (Interment): The traditional practice of burying the deceased in a grave within a cemetery.
- Above-Ground Burial (Entombment): Placing the deceased in a crypt within a mausoleum.
We work with all local cemeteries in Markham, Richmond Hill, and the York Region. Please note that each cemetery has its own guidelines and associated costs (e.g., plot purchase, interment fees, monument regulations), and we will help you navigate these details.
Common Reasons Families Choose Burial
- Tradition: Continuing family, religious, or cultural customs.
- Personal Preference: A desire for the body to return to the elements naturally, or a discomfort with the idea of cremation.
- Memorialization: The wish to have a permanent, physical place for visitation, such as a grave with a monument or marker.
- A Place to Visit: Finding comfort in visiting a specific gravesite in a cemetery setting.
Guidance Through Every Burial Decision
Choosing burial involves several important decisions. The compassionate team at Chapel Ridge Funeral Home will guide you through each step, ensuring every detail is handled with care:
- Whether or not the body is to be embalmed.
- Which kind of casket will house the body (we offer a range, or can accommodate if you build your own).
- Whether or not the cemetery requires a vault or grave liner.
- Which cemetery to use and the type of plot.
- What to put on the gravestone or monument.
