Direct Burial
Next » « Previous3/4
In a direct burial, the body is buried shortly after death, usually in simple container. No viewing or visitation is involved, so no embalming is necessary. A memorial service may be held at the graveside or later. Direct burial usually costs less than the "traditional," full service funeral.
Costs include:
- The funeral home's basic services fee.
- Transportation.
- Care of the body.
- A casket or burial container.
- Cemetery plot or crypt.
If the family chooses to be at the cemetery for the burial, the funeral home often charges an additional fee for a graveside service.
