Making Arrangements

For families navigating a sudden loss, our licensed Cemeterians are here to support you. We will gently guide you through site selection, explain our interment fees, and ensure you know what to expect on the day of burial.

Interment services are scheduled Monday through Friday, 10:00 am–2:30 pm, typically lasting an hour or less. We offer extended hours for expedited, holidays, and weekend services, which are subject to an additional fee as noted on our general price list.

To personalize the ceremony, you may rent a canopy with chairs. We provide flowers, and we welcome you to personally place natural items or some of the earth back into the grave as part of the ceremony. Our staff will respectfully complete the closing of the site after the graveside service concludes.

Most families choose to involve a licensed funeral home, and we frequently coordinate with them on preparations before your loved one arrives in our care. Please note that Serenity Ridge focuses solely on the burial site and service. We do not provide transportation, filing burial transit permits or death certificates, or supplying the biodegradable casket or shroud. A licensed funeral home is best equipped to guide a grieving family through these essential logistics.

Finding Meaning in Natural Burial

Tranquil Areas

Serenity Ridge offers three tranquil areas currently available for both full-body and cremation burial:

The Valleys & Meadows

Characterized by rolling hills and native fields.

Inspiration Point

A wooded setting closer to the forest.

Founders Hill

A hillside with meadows and spectacular views of the nature preserve.

To honor your loved one, you can purchase a native fieldstone memorial from us, which can be inscribed with their name and dates. The memorial is placed flush at the head end of the gravesite to identify their resting place.

Green Burial or Traditional Burial: Which Is Right for You

We invite you to meet with a Cemeterian on site 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.
