If you’re comparing companion burial plots in Tacoma, it’s helpful to know that these plots are specifically designed for two people. A single burial plot is designed for one person, while a companion plot is intended for two people, either resting side by side or in a double-depth arrangement. If you’re still deciding whether ground burial is the right choice for your family, you can explore traditional ground burial. Below, we’ll compare each plot option so you can choose with confidence.
Choosing between a single plot and a companion plot is a personal decision, and our Lakewood team is here to make the process simple. Whether you’re planning for yourself, planning as a couple or making arrangements for a loved one, we’ll help you compare each option and find the one that best reflects your family’s wishes.
A single burial plot provides a resting place for one person. It’s a thoughtful choice for individuals planning ahead on their own, and plots can often be selected near other family members within the same memorial park.
Side by side burial plots in Lakewood provide two individual burial spaces next to one another, allowing couples or loved ones to remain together. This arrangement provides room for individual markers or a shared companion memorial that reflects both lives.
A double-depth companion plot provides space for two people within a single burial plot, with one resting above the other. This option uses less ground than side-by-side plots and is a practical choice for couples who prefer to remain together in one space.
Selecting a companion plot together allows couples to make an important decision calmly and thoughtfully. Knowing your wishes are already in place can bring peace of mind and spare your loved ones from making difficult choices during an emotional time.

A companion burial plot in Tacoma is designed for two people who wish to rest together. Depending on your preference, the plots may be arranged side by side or in a double-depth configuration. Our team will help you compare both options and choose the one that best fits your family’s wishes.
The decision begins with a simple question: are you planning for one person or for two? If you’re planning as a couple, we’ll explain the differences between side-by-side and double-depth companion plots, answer your questions and help you decide without pressure.
Yes. Many couples and families choose to plan ahead so they can make these decisions together, at their own pace. Planning ahead documents your wishes clearly and helps spare your loved ones from making difficult decisions later.
No. While many couples choose a double-depth companion plot, it can also be appropriate for other family members who wish to rest together. Side-by-side companion plots are another option, and we’ll help you understand the differences so you can choose what feels right.
