Burial Options
The first decision to consider is full body interment or cremation. After this decision, the next consideration is in-ground or above-ground repose of the remains.
 Full Body Interment
Each in ground gravesite will accommodate one full body and up to two cremations.
Lutheran Cemetery gravesites are sold in sections that accommodate flush headstones, also know as grass markers or sections to accommodate a raised headstone. Contact us for more information.
Hope Memorial Gardens gravesites are memorialized with flush headstones only. Contact us for more information.
Above ground burial options are available only at the Crown of Life Chapel and Mausoleum located at Hope Memorial Gardens. Interior and exterior crypts for entombment are available. Each crypt in the mausoleum will hold one full body. A companion crypt is available to repose the remains of two individuals. Contact us for more information.
 Cremation Inurnment
Each cremation space will accommodate two cremations.
One full size gravesite will accommodate two cremations. A one-half in-ground grave space will also accommodate two cremations, however, the memorialization will be subject to size limitations. Contact us for more information.
A columbarium is a granite wall with compartments, called niches for cremations. Each niche will hold two cremations. Columbarium gardens are available at both locations as an above-ground option for inurnment of cremations. Contact us for more information.
