Dublin CA Burial Arrangements – Dublin CA Burial Arrangement Guide



Every Dublin CA family is different, and not everyone wants the same type of funeral. Dublin CA burial arrangements practices are influenced by religious and cultural traditions, costs and personal preferences. These factors help determine whether the funeral will be elaborate or simple, public or private, religious or secular, and where it will be held in Dublin CA. They also influence whether the body will be present at the funeral, if there will be a viewing or visitation, and if so, whether the casket will be open or closed, and whether the remains will be buried or cremated.

Among the choices you’ll need to make are whether you want one of these basic types of Dublin CA funerals, or something in between.

‘Traditional’, Full-Service Dublin CA Burial Arrangements

 
This type of funeral, often referred to by funeral providers in Dublin CA as a ‘traditional’ funeral, usually includes a viewing or visitation and formal funeral service, use of a hearse to transport the body to the funeral site and cemetery, and burial, entombment or cremation of the remains.

It is generally the most expensive type of funeral in Dublin CA. In addition to the funeral home’s basic services fee, costs often include embalming and dressing the body; rental of the funeral home for the viewing or service; and use of vehicles to transport the family if they don’t use their own. The costs of a casket, cemetery plot or crypt and other funeral goods and services also must be factored in.
