How are Committal Services Handled?

Currently the cemetery can do four services a day on a first-come first-served basis.
Times:

9:30 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.
12:30 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.
2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

No services are allowed to start after 2:45 p.m., and all interments are made immediately after the committal service.

Committal services are held in our chapel. The remains are left in state until the family has left the cemetery, and then interred by cemetery personnel.

Are Military Honors Provided?

No. Honor guard, clergy services and other arrangements are the responsibility of the family or family representative. These arrangements are normally coordinated through your chosen funeral director.
