Burial

"Disposition" is the term used by funeral professionals to describe the final handling of the deceased's remains.

Although your initial decision for the disposition of the body is between burial and cremation, there are several variations on each.

Whichever choice you make, the body will eventually return to its natural elements.

Burial Choices

If the body is buried:

• It can be interred (earth burial)
• It can be entombed in a crypt within a mausoleum (above-ground burial)
• It can be buried at sea
