FAQ Spotlight: “If I am cremated, can I be buried with my spouse even if they were in a casket?”
Absolutely — in many cases, yes.
Depending on the cemetery’s policies, cremated remains can often be placed:
✨ On top of your spouse’s casket, allowing you to share the same grave space
✨ Beside your spouse, using the space provided next to them
✨ Or in some cemeteries, multiple cremated remains may be placed in one grave
At Colonial Chapel Funeral Home, we know how important it is for families to stay together — in life, in memory, and in rest. We’re here to guide you through every option with clarity and compassion, ensuring your wishes are honored.
If you have questions about cremation, burial options, or pre-planning, our team is here to help.

💙 Why Have a Public Viewing?
At Colonial Chapel Funeral Home, we understand that every family grieves differently. One question we’re often asked is: “Why is a public viewing important?”
For many families, viewing is a meaningful part of their cultural or faith traditions. But beyond tradition, grief specialists have found that a viewing can play a significant role in the healing process. It allows loved ones to gently recognize the reality of the loss, offering space for reflection, connection, and support.
Public viewing can also be helpful for children — when the experience is explained ahead of time, and they are allowed to participate voluntarily. It can give them an age-appropriate way to understand what has happened and begin processing their feelings.
Every step we take is to support your family with compassion, clarity, and care. If you ever have questions about services or options, we’re here to guide you. 💙

🤍 Understanding Your Options: Burial, Entombment, or Cremation 🤍
Families often have questions about the different ways to lay a loved one to rest, and we’re here to offer clarity and compassion as you make the choice that feels right.
Burial in a casket remains the most common method in the United States, with some families also choosing entombment in a mausoleum.
However, cremation is becoming increasingly selected, often because it can be more affordable and gives families flexibility — allowing a memorial service to be held at a time when relatives and friends can gather together.
It’s important to know that a funeral service followed by cremation can look exactly the same as a traditional service followed by burial. The ceremony, the moments of remembrance, and the honoring of a life are all equally meaningful.
After cremation, the cremated remains are typically placed in an urn, which can be:
✨ Buried
✨ Placed in a mausoleum or columbarium
✨ Interred in a cemetery’s special urn garden
✨ Or, if preferred and permitted by state law, scattered in a meaningful location
At Colonial Chapel Funeral Home, we’re here to walk you through every option with compassion, clarity, and respect — so you can choose what best honors your loved one’s life and legacy.

🕊What Does a Funeral Director Do? 🕊
A funeral director’s role goes far beyond planning a service — they guide families through every step with care, organization, and compassion.
From the moment they’re called, funeral directors:
• Transport and prepare your loved one for viewing or burial
• Handle death certificates and coordinate insurance or veteran benefits
• Help families select caskets, urns, and service details
• Write and submit obituaries
• Schedule with clergy, cemeteries, and other service providers
• Arrange processions, flowers, and even aftercare support
Their mission is to lift the burden so families can focus on honoring and remembering the life of their loved one. 💙

At Colonial Chapel Funeral Home, we take great pride in caring for our families, and will work tirelessly to provide you with a beautiful, lasting tribute to your loved one. In addition to the services we offer, you will receive an online memorial that you can share with family and friends. While honoring your loved one is our top priority, we also want to help you through this difficult time. We have a wide range of resources to support you not only today, but in the weeks and months to come.
Online Memorials
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Videos
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.
Funeral Fund Donations
We realize the expense of a funeral can be a burden. We provide the option for friends and family to make monetary donations to help cover funeral costs. These gifts can be made easily and securely online through our website, and are paid directly to the funeral home on behalf of the donor.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
Daily Grief Support Emails
We offer one year of free daily grief support emails to the families we serve. It is important to us that we continue to comfort our families through the difficult days that the first year of grieving can bring.
