A thoughtful, affordable choice
Graveside Service
A Graveside Service offers a meaningful and intimate way to honour your loved one at their final resting place, without the formality of a church service. Led by a clergy member or celebrant, family and friends are invited to take an active role in the farewell—whether through readings, pallbearing, or personal tributes.
At Alternatives, we thoughtfully manage every detail, from cemetery coordination and ceremony scheduling to special touches such as live music, dove or balloon releases, and cultural or family traditions.
Additional options such as flowers, guest books, visitations, keepsake jewelry, extra death certificates, or a gathering following the interment can be included, allowing you to personalize the service in a way that truly reflects the life, values, and spirit of your loved one.
