When a loved one passes on, we are left to make some hard decisions regarding their legacy and last rites. A common and respectful way to say goodbye is to hold a burial service.
A burial is a funeral option where the deceased is placed into the ground as their final resting place. The burial service can be a part of the funeral service or a separate ceremony held at the cemetery.
As the only family owned business with funeral homes in Bowen, Proserpine and Mackay, Whitsunday Funerals and Crematorium is uniquely positioned to assist you with your loved one’s burial.
Although there is a growing demand for cremation services in Australian metropolitan areas, many people still opt for traditional burials as a satisfying way of saying goodbye. It provides a tangible experience for loved ones and future generations to be able to visit a grave in a cemetery.
Overall, burial services in Australia are a time for mourning and remembrance. They provide an important opportunity for family and friends to come together, honor the life of the deceased, and find comfort and support in their grief.
What You Need to Know About a Burial Service
Before you can begin arranging a burial service, it is important to complete and submit all the necessary paperwork and obtain a death certificate. Depending on the cemetery you choose, you may also be asked to fill a burial plot application form.
