Many options are available
to those who prefer a no preservation, back to the earth type of
interment now popularly known as a "Green Burial."
We have set aside a garden in Pleasant Grove Memorial Park for
Green Burials, and have waived the burial vault requirement for
that section, allowing burial of the body in a wood or fiberboard
casket or container. Markers in this section must be flush
with the ground to keep the view of the landscape clear.
For the funeral service
portion, Crain Funeral Home requires embalming only if the family
opts for a public visitation. Refrigeration is offered so
the burial does not have to take place immediately, and the
unembalmed remains can be dressed and buried in a wood or
fiberboard casket or container. Should the family opt for
embalming and public visitation, many wooden caskets are available
in a wide price range to accommodate the green burial family.
Should burial take place in
another cemetery, Crain does offer a bottomless vault that should
meet cemetery requirements while still allowing the "back to
nature" option.
