Burial Services
At Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, we believe every life deserves a service that feels like it belonged to them. We're honored to guide your family through burial with the same care we'd want for our own family.
Whether you're planning a full traditional service, a simple graveside burial, or something in between, we'll sit down with you and figure out what fits. There's no single right way to do this. Some families want a two-day visitation with an open casket. Others want something quiet and private. We'll help you build whichever version feels true to your loved one.
Types of Burial Services we offer:
- Traditional service with evening visitation | A visitation the evening before, giving family and friends time to gather, share memories, and offer support before the funeral or burial takes place the next day.
- All-in-one-day service | Visitation, service, and burial all held on the same day, a good fit for families who want to keep travel and time commitments simpler without losing any part of the tradition.
- Immediate burial | A private burial with no visitation or formal service beforehand. Some families choose to hold a memorial gathering separately, at a later date or in a different setting.
- Graveside service | A simple, meaningful service held right at the cemetery, often chosen for its quiet, personal feel or when a smaller gathering is preferred.
- Open or closed casket | Whether you choose a viewing with an open casket or a closed casket service, we'll help you decide what feels right for your family and your loved one's wishes.
- Green burial | A natural, eco-conscious option using biodegradable materials and no embalming chemicals, for families who want their loved one's return to the earth to be as simple and natural as possible.
