Ground Burial
Ground Burial Options
A traditional choice that has stood the test of time
Casket burial continues to be one of the most widely chosen forms of final placement. At Ridgeview West Memorial Park, we follow high standards of care to ensure every burial site is preserved with dignity and remains protected for future generations.
If funeral services are arranged through Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow, a selection of caskets is available to choose from. Caskets are made from a range of materials, each offering different qualities. Some are designed for long-term durability, while others are intended to break down more naturally over time. Your funeral director can help guide you through these options to ensure your selection aligns with your preferences.
In-Ground Burial
All in-ground burial spaces at Ridgeview West Memorial Park require the use of either a burial vault or a grave liner. These outer containers are placed around the casket or urn to support the structure of the gravesite.
A grave liner helps prevent the ground from sinking over time, which allows the site to remain level and well maintained. A burial vault offers additional protection by helping to keep the burial space more secure and dry.
We offer a range of memorialization options, including headstones, flush markers, and statuary. These choices allow families to create a personalized tribute that reflects the life and memory of their loved one.
Graveside Service
Many families choose to include a graveside service as part of the final arrangements. This moment takes place when the casket or urn is placed at the burial site.
A graveside service can follow a funeral held in a church or chapel, or it can take place before a memorial gathering. In some cases, it is scheduled separately, especially when burial occurs in a different location from where services are held. For some families, the graveside service serves as the primary or only formal ceremony.
