The earliest human burial dates back 100,000 years making it one of the longest-lived and most widespread of traditions. For an overview of the many different burial traditions, check out the websites in the Resources section below.
Here at A Sacred Choice, we have the deepest respect for this traditional practice. If you are interested in learning more about the burial services we offer, or have questions about anything, please call us at 713.637.4933, or contact us via email at Information@ASacredChoice.com .
We offer a number of affordable burial service options. They range from: simple burials where only a member of our staff oversees the interment; simple graveside services led by a minister or celebrant; and a traditional funeral service proceeded or followed by burial. Each can be tailored to meet your family's needs.
There are many things to consider when deciding whether to bury your loved one, or when selecting burial. Please know that we are here to assist and guide you in anyway.
One of the first decisions you'll need to make involves choosing both the cemetery and the actual space itself. You'll then need to select a casket and possibly a graveliner or outer burial container, depending upon the requirements of the cemetery. At some point, and this does not have to take place right away, the decision becomes one of selecting the headstone or marker and writing the inscription. A member of our professional staff will be available should you wish to have assistance in making each of these decisions.
