Traditional ground burial, mausoleum entombment, and cremation with inurnment or scattering of ashes are the most common burial options for individuals or families. Ground burial requires a casket and grave liner to be interred on cemetery grounds. Mausoleum entombment utilizes the above-ground crypts or niches to house the remains. Cremation is a process whereby the body is transformed into small particles and can be interred in a mausoleum, cemetery plot, or scattered on land or water.
