A funeral home needs to be present at the time of a full body burial. A full body burial requires transit permit, and if possible, a death certificate. Funeral Homes are set up to provide these services on a family's behalf and funeral homes offer a variety of services for families to choose from. At Wildwood Cemetery you can do either a vault burial (casket in a cement box) or a green burial (no embalming and no vault).
A cremation burial requires a cremation certificate, and if possible, a death certificate. The paperwork and the grave fee must be given to the cemetery office before the grave is dug. A funeral home does not need to be present for a cremation burial. Please note the cemetery does not provide any type of ceremonial accompaniments for the ceremony besides a small implement to scoop earth.
Saturday burials are scheduled so the funeral will be finished by noon. Weekdays Burials are scheduled no later than 1 PM.
At times in the spring [mud season] or in extreme rainy periods burials may have to be rescheduled due to some areas in the cemetery being inaccessible.
