Services offered by O'Brien Gerst Funeral Home
Earth Burial
Interment or earth burial is the most common. Most families feel comfortable with the idea of a final resting place where entire families can be buried together and at a place other family members can visit.
Entombment
Like burial, entombment offers a fixed, final resting place. When a body is entombed, the casket is placed in a mausoleum, an above ground structure usually made of marble or stone.
Cremation
When a body is cremated, it is taken to a crematory, where intense heat or fire reduces the body to a few pounds of bone fragments and ashes within two hours.
