BURIAL SERVICES

At Boyd-Panciera Funeral Home, we understand the importance of creating a meaningful and customized experience to celebrate the life of your loved one. Our commitment extends to collaborating with various cemeteries that offer a range of services, ensuring you have the flexibility to choose the option that best reflects your wishes.

• Ground Burial: Experience the timeless tradition of laying your loved one to rest with ground burial, where the body and casket find their final place below the ground. In many cemeteries, a vault is required for ground burial to maintain consistent and level grounds.
• Mausoleum: Consider the option of a mausoleum, a spacious building with enclosed tombs, providing a dignified and distinctive resting place.
• Private Family Mausoleum: For a more intimate setting, explore the possibility of a private family mausoleum, offering families personalized enclosed tombs within a smaller, dedicated structure.
• Companion Crypt: Choose companion crypts for two individuals, typically side-by-side with a shared marker, fostering a sense of togetherness.
• Private Family Estate: Discover the exclusivity of a private family estate, a distinct section of the cemetery bordered by gates, stone walls, and blooming hedges, creating a private burial ground for your family.

BESIDES BURIAL, WHAT ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

Whether you prefer burial or cremation, cemeteries offer a variety of services. While ground burial and mausoleums are popular choices, both options can be upgraded to private or exclusive areas within the cemetery. If cremation is your preference, many cemeteries also provide alternatives, such as placing cremated remains in a niche or columbarium.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PLACE TO VISIT?

Recognizing the human need to remember and be remembered, a permanent memorial in a cemetery serves as a forever home for your loved one. Research indicates that from remembrance services to permanent memorialization, these actions contribute to emotional closure and initiate the healing process. Having a dedicated resting place provides an elegant and respectful celebration of life.

DOES A BODY HAVE TO BE EMBALMED BEFORE BURIAL?

No, embalming is not legally required in the State of Florida. The discussion around embalming arises if a viewing or open casket funeral service is planned. Additionally, embalming may be necessary if a significant amount of time passes between death and interment or if the body is to be transported by airline. At Boyd-Panciera Funeral Home, we guide you through these considerations with sensitivity and respect for your preferences.
