Direct Burial

What is a Direct Burial?

At Casper Funeral & Cremation Services, we understand that funeral expenses can be a significant financial burden. That’s why we offer direct burial as a simple, dignified, and cost-effective option for families.

A direct burial is a funeral service where the deceased is buried shortly after passing without embalming or a formal viewing. This service means no wake or visitation hours at a funeral home. Instead, family and friends gather at the graveside for a brief ceremony to pay their respects and say their final goodbyes.

Why Choose Direct Burial?

Affordability

Direct burials are significantly less expensive than traditional funerals, as they eliminate the costs associated with embalming, viewings, and elaborate services. This service can be a crucial factor for families with limited budgets.

Simplicity

For some, a direct burial aligns with their personal preferences and values. It allows for a simple and dignified farewell, focusing on honoring the deceased rather than elaborate services.

Flexibility

Direct burials are quick and efficient, which can be helpful when time is of the essence. Additionally, they offer flexibility in choosing the burial location, whether a local cemetery or a national veterans cemetery.
