A Traditional Burial

Full body burials, also known as “casket burials,” are the most traditional form of burial. They involve interring the deceased person’s entire body in the ground or in an above-ground structure. This method has been practiced for centuries and holds religious significance for the Catholic community. This burial option provides a physical resting place for loved ones and allows for traditional funeral rituals and mourning practices.
