Graveside & Committal Services
A graveside or committal service takes place at the cemetery and may follow a funeral service or stand alone as a more intimate gathering. These services often include prayers, readings, or words of remembrance led by clergy, a celebrant, or a family member. Our staff coordinates all details at the cemetery to ensure the service is conducted with dignity and care.
Memorialization Options
Permanent memorialization creates a lasting tribute and a place for future generations to remember and reflect. We offer a range of memorial options that can be personalized to honor your loved one’s life and legacy.
Memorialization options may include:
Bronze on granite flat markers
Mausoleum plaques
Niche plaques
Benches
Our team will assist with design, inscription selection, and placement in accordance with cemetery guidelines.
Opening & Closing Services
Cemetery services include the professional opening and closing of the grave, crypt, or niche. This process is handled by trained staff to ensure safety, respect, and compliance with all regulations. We coordinate closely with the funeral home, clergy, and family to ensure everything is prepared properly for the day of services.
Perpetual Care & Grounds Maintenance
Bush River Memorial Gardens is committed to preserving the beauty and dignity of the cemetery for generations to come. Perpetual care ensures ongoing maintenance of the grounds, landscaping, and common areas, so families can take comfort knowing their loved one’s resting place will be cared for long into the future.
Cemetery Preplanning
Planning cemetery arrangements in advance allows you to make thoughtful decisions without time pressure and relieves your family of difficult choices later. Cemetery preplanning also helps secure preferred locations and can provide financial peace of mind. Our experienced counselors are available to answer questions and guide you through the process at your own pace.
