A graveside service is held at the cemetery with the burial of the casket or urn.  The committal service at the cemetery may entail readings, prayers, and thoughts of remembrance.  The graveside service allows for flexibility of expression without time restraints of the traditional funeral process.  

Olson & Parent Funeral Home feels the graveside service, whether following a funeral service or the only gathering of family and friends, can be a meaningful expression of remembrance.  Often families tell us that a gathering of ten to twenty people would be uncomfortable in a large chapel seating of one hundred people or more. The graveside service is not rushed and allows for more opportunity to pause and reflect on the memories of a loved one.
