Graveside Service
Graveside Service (a.k.a Direct Burial)
A graveside service is a funeral service that occurs at the cemetery, where family and friends pay their final respects before the casket is lowered into the ground for burial. This service can also be called a crypt side service if it is an entombment in a mausoleum.
Because loved ones are committing the deceased back to the earth, this intimate service is also called a committal service. A graveside service often follows a traditional service, but sometimes may be the only service a family chooses. Often a pastor/minister will speak a few words of comfort (think "ashes to ashes and dust to dust") or the family may share a few remarks, but otherwise this service is usually fairly short and simple.
