Graveside Service
Your funeral director will accompany you to the cemetery along with your officiating clergy to conduct all final services at the gravesite. If clergy is not available, a Frank R. Bell funeral director will oversee the final graveside service.
Direct Burial
Under these circumstances, the deceased is taken directly to the cemetery and buried. Viewing and services are not a part of this type of arrangement.
