Listed below frequently asked questions that can assist you in making the many decisions that need to be made. We hope you’ll find these useful.
As it is such an important question, several factors must be taken into consideration. Are you arranging for yourself or your family? How much do you want to spend? A What type of memorial do you prefer? Answers to these types of questions will help you make the right selection.
In addition to ground burial, we offer a range of interment options, including lawn crypts, as well as private and community mausoleums.
A cremation is always an option. Contrary to some beliefs, cremation offers as many, or more, memorialization options as traditional burial and services. Cremation, simply put, is reducing the body to ashes. Once the cremation is complete, the “remains” can be placed in an urn and buried, placed in a vault, or you can customize your cremation in almost any way you choose. At Rose Hills, cremated remains are most commonly placed in an indoor or outdoor above–ground niche.
As with any significant event in life, services and funerals require careful planning. If youplan your own service and how you choose to be memorialized in advance, you’ll spare those close to you from the stress of attempting to make wishes they think would please you. If you take the time to plan your service, those you care about will be allowed to grieve instead of worrying about arrangements. In addition, many pre-arranged services can be financed in ways that freeze today’s price and keep your investment safe.
Like most modern cemeteries, Rose Hills requires a concrete liner or vault for each interment to prevent the grave from sinking or receding.
If you decide to make changes to your pre-arranged service, please contact us and we will assist you in selecting alternatives.

We also have a free Living Will Kit, an important advance directive tool that allows you to name who you wish to speak for you in case of a medical emergency.
