Traditional Burial: This type of service includes arrangements to provide funeral services with visitation or prayer service and burial in a cemetery. Entombment is also an option.

Direct Burial: In some cases, arrangements are made to inter the deceased without a funeral ceremony although there can and usually is clergy at the cemetery to complete the interment.

Traditional Cremation: While very similar to traditional burial, the difference is that following the funeral, the deceased is transferred to the crematory instead of the procession going to the cemetery

Direct Cremation: This type of service is usually selected when no funeral ceremony is desired. A family may include a visitation prior to cremation.

Memorial Service: In this type of service, the cremation process has already taken place and the cremated remains are usually present for the funeral ceremony. Interment of cremated remains can follow a memorial service.
A visitation by the family prior to the cremation may be included in this type of service.
