If you are comparing lawn crypts in Lakewood, the first thing to understand is how they differ from a standard burial plot. A lawn crypt is an in-ground resting place where the burial vault is already set in the ground ahead of time, within a level section covered by lawn. Many families choose them for two, side by side or one above the other, so a couple can rest together. Below we explain what sets a lawn crypt apart and how our team guides you through choosing one.
A lawn crypt is set apart from a standard burial space by one thing above all, the vault is already in the ground. Here is what that means for Lakewood and Tacoma families, and the choices that are yours to make.
We start by walking through your options together, so the choice reflects what your family wants, whether you are planning for one person or two.
The heart of a lawn crypt is the pre-installed vault. In Pierce County, families often value that the reinforced burial vault is already set in the ground, so one important decision is made and in place long before it is needed.
Many lawn crypts are arranged for two, side by side or one above the other, so couples and family members can rest together. Families across Lakewood often choose this so loved ones stay close.
A lawn crypt rests in a level, open section covered by lawn and kept tidy by our grounds team. It is usually marked with a flush marker that sits even with the grass.
