Getting Started with Casket Burial

If you’re here due to a recent loss or are starting to plan ahead, we’re here to assist you. Our team is ready to walk you through your options and help you make the best choices for your family. Below, you’ll find information about available merchandise, costs, and what to expect on the day of the service.

In addition to presenting your options, we will gather the necessary information to complete our cemetery application and interment order. Once the service date is scheduled and you have selected the gravesite, we will send the required authorizations via DocuSign for your convenience. Once those are completed, the service will be confirmed.

When you feel ready, our staff will be here to help you take the next steps. You can reach us at 425-222-6444 or family@flintofts.com.

Sincerely,


The Fall City Cemetery Family

Choices

As you plan a graveside service, we understand how challenging this time can be. Our goal is to ease the process by helping you make thoughtful decisions without feeling overwhelmed.

When selecting the day for the service, you may also want to consider a few additional details. Would you like pallbearers to carry the casket, or would you prefer it to be in place when you arrive? Who would you like to lead the service? Is there any music that would bring comfort or meaning? Some families also decide whether they would like to witness the casket being lowered.

Additionally, we’ll need your preferences regarding the casket liner, the type of headstone that feels most fitting, and whether flowers will be part of the service.

We are here to support you and will guide you through each of these decisions with care. You can find helpful resources through the links below.

Service Day

As you prepare for the graveside service, we kindly ask that the family arrives 30 minutes before the scheduled time. This allows us to go over the final details, including flowers, seating, casket placement, and the overall service flow.

About five minutes before the service begins, the family will be invited to take their seats, and the service will commence shortly after.

A typical graveside service may include:
- A welcome and opening thoughts
- An opening poem, scripture, and words of remembrance led by the chaplain
- A eulogy
- Words of hope from the chaplain
- A closing poem, prayer, or benediction
- The lowering of the casket

At the conclusion of the service, the family is welcome to approach the casket, place a rose or touch the casket, and take a quiet moment before it is lowered into the ground.

After the service, Flintoft’s or your chosen funeral director will assist in collecting memory items and flowers, moving them to the family vehicle. You may choose to take the flowers home or donate them, whichever feels right for you on the day.

We are here to assist you every step of the way.

Costs

Here are some estimated costs for a simple urn interment at Fall City Cemetery. The final cost will depend on your choices for flowers, a vault, and any additional options you may wish to include. We are happy to provide you with a full price list to help you make informed decisions.

Our goal is to support you during this difficult time and ensure that all your needs are met with care and compassion.
