Traditional Ground Burial Whether you choose cremation or not, traditional ground burial may be right for you. You can select an area near a favorite type of tree, an annual or perennial garden, a religious or historical feature.
	The Korean War Memorial honors veterans who fought in "the forgotten war" and the America Standing Guard monument honors all who risk their lives to keep us safe and free: police, firefighters, rescue personnel and past and present members of the military.

Grave prices start at $750 for either a cremation or full casket burial. Additional costs would include a burial vault (purchased from a funeral home), a flat bronze grave marker (upright monuments are not used in a memorial park) and the grave opening fee.
	Permanent maintenance of your gravesite is included in the price of each grave so there are no annual maintenance fees at White Haven.
You may order your bronze grave marker from this display area right at White Haven's office. Our helpful staff will assist you in creating a one-of-a-kind memorial by selecting just the right phrases, emblems and designs. Prices start at $930, including installation.

Mausoleums: Above-Ground Burial Once only for the rich and famous, modern community mausoleums cost no more than ground burial. Larger spaces called crypts hold full caskets, while smaller spaces called niches accommodate cremated remains. At White Haven, you can even select a combination crypt to accommodate one full casket and one urn containing cremated remains.
	These burial spaces are available both outside and inside these elegant buildings, which are constructed and maintained to last forever.
When you purchase a grave, there are several additional expenditures at the time of burial, such as a burial vault, grave marker and burial fees. With above-ground burial, however, everything but a modest burial fee is included in one package price.
	Your package price even includes the use of one of our chapels for your service. Prices can be locked in at today's cost and, if desired, interest-free payments can be tailored to your budget and spread out over several years.
People choose above-ground burial for many reasons: There is little left for the family to do or pay at a time of need. It is more comfortable to visit indoors in all types of weather. It is a high honor to the deceased, but often costs no more than ground burial. It conserves land. They do not like the idea of lowering themselves or loved ones into the ground.

Cremation Options Cremation is not an end in itself, but merely one means of preparing a body for burial and memorialization. At White Haven, we offer the widest range of options for those who choose cremation, from a wooded nature trail, to traditional ground burial or elegant but affordable above-ground burial. We even have several options for a couple to consider when one person chooses cremation and the other does not.	A permanent burial site is just as important for cremated remains as it is for a full body. To learn about the importance of choosing a permanent memorial, please click here.
	White Haven has its own crematory on site. Cremated remains are delivered in a plastic container that is perfectly acceptable for burial in the ground or placement in a mausoleum. If you prefer something more elegant or more personal, you may choose from a wide variety of urns on display in our office or in the mausoleums.
Our new Maplewood Mausoleum, features lighted, glass-fronted niches to display an urn and photograph of your choice.

	Nature Trail White Haven's Nature Trail offers cremation burial sites around a serene pond, under mature pine trees or along a babbling brook. Burial may be made directly in the earth or in your choice of urn, including a biodegradable urn.
Memorialization along the trail may be made on a natural rock, included in the price, and a small bronze plaque, priced separately. The Nature Trail provides an excellent alternative to scattering by providing a special place for loved ones to visit and remember as well as a permanent record of a life lived.

	Green Burial White Haven also offers a "green" or eco-friendly burial option that is certified by the Green Burial Council. The site of our green burial area is this lovely wildflower meadow that is home each spring to nesting bluebirds.
By designating this area as a green burial site, it will be kept free of herbicides and pesticides and will only be mowed once each year to prevent reforestation. Burials in this area are made in a simple, biodegradable container or cloth shroud. The body is not embalmed, cremated or treated by any other means that would use toxic chemicals or fossil fuels in the process. The goal is to allow the body to return to the soil naturally. Click here to view a recent article about green burial which appeared in Rochester's Democrat & Chronicle.
	Graves are larger in this area and therefore somewhat more expensive, but graves will be marked simply by a natural rock, included in the price. A small bronze plaque may be added to the rock, if desired. For further information on bronze plaques, click here.
With the elimination of costly vaults, caskets and embalming, a green burial still costs much less than a traditional ground burial. Most importantly, choosing our green burial option will help to preserve an important nesting site for these beautiful bluebirds and protect all of the other wildlife that call this meadow home.
