Traditional Casket Burial Services

Traditional casket burial is a long-standing way to honor deceased loved ones, and families can choose from a variety of service options to make meaningful tributes. We offer immediate burial services without public ceremonies for families who want simple, private arrangements. We also offer full services that may include visitation periods with open or closed casket viewing, formal funeral services at our funeral home, your church, or your home, and graveside ceremonies at the cemetery of your choice. You have complete freedom to choose between public services that anyone can attend, private family-only ceremonies, or a mix of the two that includes both family time and community participation. You can make the burial service unique to your loved one's personality, your family's traditions, and how you want to say goodbye.


Our professional staff handles all the parts of the casket burial process in a way that is perfectly coordinated. We take care of all the paperwork and permits that are needed. We also work with cemetery staff to make sure that the grave is opened and prepared at the right time. We also provide professional transportation by hearse to the service locations and make sure that all the ceremonial parts go according to your wishes. Our experienced funeral directors work closely with clergy, celebrants, and family members to plan services that honor your loved one's memory and help those who are grieving find peace and closure.

Cemetery Selection and Coordination

Choosing the Right Cemetery


Choosing the right cemetery and burial site is one of the most important choices you will make during the burial process. We help families choose a local cemetery by looking at things like how easy it is for family members to visit, religious needs or preferences, the types and sizes of burial plots available, the cemetery's maintenance standards and policies for perpetual care, and the costs, such as plot prices and ongoing fees. We know a lot about cemeteries in the area, so we can help you understand the differences between the different options and make choices that are best for your family's long-term needs.


 Many families have ties to certain cemeteries through family burial plots, religious groups, or community ties. We work with all of the cemeteries in the area, so we can help you plan your services whether you're using family plots that have been set aside for years, buying new burial spaces, or looking into your options for the first time. Our staff has good working relationships with cemetery workers all over Tioga County, which makes sure that all burial arrangements and timing go smoothly.


Cemetery Requirements and Regulations


Different cemeteries have different rules and requirements that affect how burials are planned. We help families understand the rules and requirements for burial vaults, headstones, and monuments at the cemetery, as well as the types and materials of caskets that are allowed, when services can take place, how to coordinate them, and any limits on flowers, decorations, or memorial items. Knowing these rules early on in the planning process can help you avoid problems and make sure that your burial plans follow all of the cemetery's rules while still honoring your loved one's wishes.

Casket Selection and Options

Traditional Burial Caskets

We have a wide range of caskets to choose from, from affordable options to high-end designs that fit any budget. We have caskets made of oak, cherry, mahogany, and pine, as well as metal caskets made of steel, bronze, and copper. We also have eco-friendly caskets made of materials that are good for the environment. There is a clear price for each casket, along with information about how it was made and what materials were used.

Casket Customization and Personal Touches

Families can make caskets their own by adding custom fabrics, nameplates, decorative emblems that show their interests, and special hardware. Military families might choose military emblems and flag cases for their veterans' caskets, while religious families might choose spiritual symbols or designs based on their faith.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the burial planning process typically take?

Most burial plans can be made in 3 to 7 days, which gives the cemetery time to coordinate, process permits, and plan with the family. But we can make arrangements faster if we need to, and we can work with families who need more time for relatives who live far away or for other special reasons.

Are burial vaults always required?

Most modern cemeteries need burial vaults to keep caskets safe and the cemetery grounds clean, but the rules are different for each cemetery. We help you understand the specific rules for the cemetery you choose and help you choose the right vault options that meet those rules.

Can we have a funeral service even if we choose immediate burial?

Of course. It is up to you to decide when to hold the funeral and when to bury the remains. Many families choose to have memorial services, celebrations of life, or traditional funeral ceremonies before or after the burial. This gives families the freedom to choose what works best for them.
