Throughout life, experience reminds us of the wisdom of foresight and planning. The foresight to purchase a cemetery lot, a mausoleum crypt or cremation niche is one way to lessen the stress on loved ones at the time of loss. Making decisions about a final resting place during life guarantees that your wishes are met without having to depend on others who by necessity may have to make decisions colored by grief and not governed by reason.
Fairview offers many interment options which vary according to location and type of accommodation selected. The three main options include traditional ground burial, mausoleum crypts, and niches for cremated human remains. All are all available for personal selection.
In ground burials can be for casket burial or cremation burial, and in some instances for both. The option also exists where the cremated human remains can be buried in the same grave as a casket burial. The number of cremated remains and their placement are best known by calling the office for details.
