Burial Options

The City of Monroe cemeteries have options for full-body or cremation burials. Choose from traditional plots for full-body casket interment, or for those seeking a more contemporary approach, cremation burial provides flexibility, accommodating either a full-body casket with two cremated remains or up to four cremations in a single plot. With a commitment to honoring unique family journeys, our cemeteries ensure a peaceful and respectful final resting place that reflects individual choices with dignity.
