The Claybar Family of Cemeteries
Plan Ahead
Pre-planning your cemetery property is one of the most caring decisions you can make for the people you love — a chance to choose what feels right, lock in today's prices, and spare your family a difficult decision during an already difficult time. Burials and interments arranged through any funeral home are welcome.
Why families choose to plan ahead
Peace of mind, on your own terms
Peace of mind
Knowing your arrangements are settled brings comfort to you and to the people who love you.
Lock in today's prices
Reserve cemetery property now, protected from the rising costs of tomorrow.
Ease your family's burden
Your family can focus on grieving and remembering — not on making difficult decisions under pressure.
Personal choice
Choose the setting, the memorial and the details that reflect your own wishes, in your own time.
What you can reserve
Cemetery property, reserved in advance
Every option available at our cemeteries can be reserved ahead of time — for yourself, your spouse, or your entire family. A family service counselor will walk you through the choices at whichever of our six cemeteries feels like home.
Burial plots
Single, companion or family estate plots in a garden setting.
Mausoleum crypts
Private, companion or family crypts for above-ground entombment.
Cremation niches
Niche spaces within a columbarium or garden feature.
Memorials & markers
Bronze markers and upright granite monuments, personalized to your wishes.
Simple, unhurried, guided by us

A few reassurances
You are in no hurry, and you are not alone
Planning ahead is a conversation, not a commitment made in a single afternoon. We are glad to meet whenever it suits you, and to answer every question along the way.
Meetings by appointment, at a pace that's comfortable for you.
Flexible payment options are available — ask your counselor what fits your family.
We welcome arrangements through any funeral home — your director does not have to be part of our network. Claybar network funeral homes are available if you prefer.
No obligation to decide today — only to have the conversation whenever you're ready.
