Traditional Burial Services
Traditional Burial Services
For over 160 years, Lakefield Cemetery & Crematorium has provided a peaceful sanctuary within our meticulously maintained 25-acre grounds. Specifically, our not-for-profit cemetery features mature trees and historic monument sections that reflect Lakefield’s rich heritage. In addition, because we are a smaller, focused cemetery, we can ensure every walkway and garden is kept in pristine condition throughout the seasons. Consequently, families enjoy a more manageable and personal experience, finding a quiet, dignified space for reflection and a lasting legacy.
Diverse Traditional Burial Options
Our traditional burial services are designed to offer flexibility and choice for every family. Specifically, you may choose the memorial style that best reflects your personal preference, whether you prefer the clean look of flat markers or the classic presence of upright headstones. Furthermore, our standard adult graves provide versatile options, accommodating one casket and up to three cremated remains. Ultimately, we aim to provide a dignified resting place that aligns perfectly with your family’s unique vision and budget.
In light of these options, we encourage families to consider how a specific location within the cemetery might enhance their experience. Our staff is available to walk the grounds with you to find a plot that feels right. As a result, you can feel confident that your choice provides a lasting tribute for generations to come.
Browse our many options available below:
Monument Section for Upright Memorials
Our Traditional Monument section features classic rows of upright headstones. In this area, families may place one upright memorial at the head of a double lot. However, please note that single lots in this section allow for flat markers only. To provide more flexibility, each grave can accommodate one casket burial and three cremation burials. As a result, multiple generations can remain together in one location.
Sunset Meadow: Versatile & Spacious
Additionally, we offer the Sunset Meadow section for those who require a bit more room. Specifically, we designed this area with wider grave spaces to accommodate oversized liners and larger monuments. For instance, several spaces feature trees planted in close proximity to create a natural, park-like feel. Moreover, each grave in Sunset Meadow follows our standard capacity of one casket and three cremation interments.
Economical Shared Monument Options
Furthermore, we provide a Shared Monument section as an economical alternative. This choice allows two different families to share one upright monument. Because this requires a minimum purchase of two lots, it significantly reduces the total cost of the monument for each party. Consequently, families can secure a beautiful upright memorial while staying within a specific budget. Each grave follows our standard capacity of one casket and three cremation interments.
Serene Flat Marker Section
Finally, the Flat Marker section preserves the open, park-like setting of our 25-acre grounds. By only allowing memorials that sit flush with the ground, we maintain a seamless and tranquil landscape. In addition to traditional casket burials, these lots are ideal for families who only wish to inter cremated remains.
Choosing a final resting place is a significant decision, and we want to ensure you have the best information available. For this reason, we have created a downloadable brochure that highlights our diverse burial options. In addition to a cemetery map, the brochure outlines the differences between our upright monument and flat marker sections. Consequently, you can feel more prepared and informed before visiting us in person.
