Cremation
At Serenity Ridge, we offer tranquil and natural resting places for cremated remains, available for both immediate need and pre-need planning. Our licensed Cemeterians are here to gently guide you through site selection and ensure you know what to expect during the interment process.
Cremation burial is available in two distinct natural settings:
- The Valleys & Meadows: Characterized by rolling hills and native fields.
- Inspiration Point: A wooded setting closer to the forest.
Interment Logistics
Interment services are scheduled Monday through Friday, 10:00 am–2:30 pm, lasting an hour or less. During the ceremony, we welcome you to personally place natural items or some of the earth back into the grave. Our staff will complete the closing of the site after the graveside service concludes.
Securing Your Site and Services
Immediate Need (At-Need)
You may purchase the site, or “Interment Right,” at any time. The separate “Interment Fee” is to be paid when a death has occurred and the burial service is scheduled.
Pre-need Preplanning
Planning ahead secures both the Interment Right (site purchase) and the Pre-need Burial Services (the labor and coordination for the burial).
You can choose to honor your loved one by purchasing a native fieldstone memorial, which can be inscribed with their name and dates and is placed flush at the head end of the gravesite.
Please note that Serenity Ridge focuses solely on the burial site and service. Please check our Resources page for a list of Green Funeral Homes to coordinate the cremation and a biodegradable urn selection.
Please visit our Simple Tribute page to learn more about interring cremated remains of loved ones who have been held onto for several years.
We invite you to meet with a Cemeterian on site or, if necessary, virtually for an appointment. They will offer careful guidance through our options, answer your questions, and facilitate site selection. All contract details and site designations are recorded and GPS-mapped into our system for precision.
