Natural Burial Service
Cedar Memorial Park recognizes and embraces the trend towards end of life rituals that are both environmentally friendly and meaningful for families. Our Natural Burial Service provides everything necessary for commemorative services and burial within a green cemetery or a conventional cemetery. A public viewing utilizing non-formaldehyde-based embalming can be arranged for an additional charge. Cedar Memorial is certified by the Green Burial Council.
