Graveside Services

A graveside service is exactly what it sounds like. These services are held at the gravesite prior to the burial of a casket or urn. They usually include a few final remarks, memories, or prayers. These services can be held before, after, or in place of a traditional indoor service. The appropriate services for the final arrangements of your loved one will depend on an array of factors. A graveside service may be the perfect way to bid farewell to your loved one.
