Arrangements
A conventional choice
A “traditional” arrangement refers to a full-body burial in a casket, rather than cremation. There are many options when it comes to traditional arrangements. Full-body remains may be placed above-ground, either in a building (mausoleum) that features burial vaults called crypts, or in a self-contained private outdoor family crypt or vault (family mausoleum). Or, the body may be placed in-ground, in a grave.
Regardless of whether the body is above- or in-ground, there are many options that allow spouses and families to remain together – especially if you have made pre-arrangements. Most crypts and graves can also accommodate one urn; this allows spouses to be together, even if one prefers traditional interment and the other wants cremation.
