Our Services
Confronting one of life’s inevitable
challenges is never easy. We all wish we could avoid ever having to arrange
a loved one’s funeral. Our staff provides a compassionate and caring
environment for those bereaved families who choose Maple Grove Cemetery.
They are knowledgeable and can answer your questions and assist you in
making an unhurried decision about burial arrangements.
Maple Grove Cemetery
offers
a wide variety of options for you to consider. These are briefly described here
(see Fees Price List ), but please feel
free to call staff to learn more.
Choosing
Traditional In-Ground Burial
| An in-ground burial can
vary from an individual grave to a family plot. In our Memorial Park
area, the grave can be marked with a bronze marker. |

In the Monumental area,
you can mark the grave with a monument. |

Choosing
Cremation
The
process of
cremation reduces the body to ashes (called cremains). While Maple
Grove Cemetery does not perform cremation, we do inter cremated remains, both
in-ground and in Columbarium niches. When you place cremains at Maple Grove
Cemetery, you are ensuring that future generations will have a place to go to
honor and remember your loved one. Should you choose to scatter the ashes,
there are options to
memorialize your loved one. Please ask one of our staff associates.
Choosing Lakeview Memorial
Garden
Maple Grove Cemetery
created Lakeview Memorial
Garden to serve as a unique and distinctive means of remembrance for
those who desire both full body burial and cremation burial in a final resting
place of exceptional beauty. In a serene, handsomely landscaped setting,
Lakeview incorporates a dignified memorial wall where the names of loved ones
can be carved into the stone. In front of the wall, corresponding plots are
available for full body burial or for the containment of cremated remains. A
Columbarium is also available for cremated remains. This memorial garden is a
true sanctuary and refuge where families can gather to remember their loved
ones.
Choosing a Mausoleum
A mausoleum crypt
offers an above-ground option for burial. The front of the mausoleum space
becomes your monument when your name or that of a family member is inscribed.
