What are My Above-Ground Burial Options?

The Gardens of Boca Raton offers above-ground internment options to accommodate different family needs and personal preferences. Let’s have a look at the different choices available to honor your loved one.

Entombment: A Common and Respectful Choice

Entombment, or above-ground burial, is a widely preferred choice in regions like Boca Raton and other areas with high water tables. Opting for entombment in a mausoleum provides an accessible, dignified, and protected space, offering ease of visitation compared to traditional ground burials, which are subject to environmental challenges.

Mausoleums: Community and Private Options

Mausoleums at The Gardens offer peaceful and respectful spaces that celebrate life in a dignified setting. Visitors find these structures accessible, inviting, and well-maintained year-round.

Our community mausoleums include dedicated buildings for all faiths, providing an inclusive space where families can honor their loved ones comfortably in a serene indoor environment.

Private Family Estates

Families seeking a more private option have the choice of outdoor family estates, which provide personalized experiences tailored to your family’s wishes. There are three distinctive types of private family estates:

Walk-Up: Free-standing estates where the visitation experience is outdoors in a tranquil, park-like setting.

Walk-In: Indoor burials featuring an enclosed space with doors, offering flexible indoor or outdoor visitation.

Walk-Through: Estates designed with open or gated passages, creating a sheltered yet accessible environment for visitors.

Private Estate Benches

Our private estate benches are intimate, peaceful spaces designed to house cremated remains. Each bench can accommodate two urns, while our family columbariums with benches can accommodate numerous family members, providing a dedicated, comfortable spot for reflection and remembrance.

Crypts: Clear and Accessible Options

We offer clear and accessible crypt options to suit different family needs:

Single Crypts: Suitable for individual burial or cremated remains, providing personal and dignified resting spaces.

Side-by-Side Crypts: Ideal for couples or close family members wishing to rest beside each other.

True Companion Crypts: Arranged end-to-end for a close, intimate memorialization within a single marker space.

Columbarium Niches for Cremation Remains

Glass Niches: Provide visible, customizable memorials allowing families to include personal items and keepsakes in a secure, well-maintained, and illuminated environment.

Marble Niches: Traditional, resilient structures offering enduring memorialization. Niches can be customized with engravings, photos, and decorative features.
