A burial is a funeral option where the deceased is placed into the ground as their final resting place. A burial can be done in conjunction with a funeral ceremony or as a standalone service held graveside, and often includes short readings and prayers based on religious beliefs.

A burial service can be more costly and timely to organise than other types of funeral services, however, there may be some benefits to holding a burial service for you and your family which include.

Permanence: Graves are more or less permanent fixtures that can be available for future generations of the deceased to come to pay their respects.

Tradition: Burial services are the most traditional option which highlight a person’s religious beliefs in comparison to other funeral services options.
