Burial Services

Immediate Burial

A direct, dignified burial without a formal ceremony beforehand. Your loved one is cared for by our own licensed staff and transported to the cemetery for burial.

Helping You Decide

For Families Who Want Burial Without a Formal Ceremony

Immediate burial means your loved one is taken into our care, prepared and casketed, and transported directly to the cemetery, where they are buried in a grave or placed in a mausoleum crypt. There is no funeral ceremony, visitation, or graveside service included as part of this option.

Many families choose this because their loved one preferred simplicity, because they plan to hold a memorial elsewhere, or because they want burial handled clearly and directly.

If a simple graveside service is desired, City of Oaks can assist at the burial site for a cost of $660.

You should consider the charges from the funeral home a portion of your total funeral bill. You will incur additional charges from the cemetery.

Choosing a simpler service does not mean choosing less dignity, less respect, or less care. Every family we serve receives the same attention, regardless of the service they choose.

What Families Have Shared with Us

Over 14 years, we've had the privilege of serving thousands of families across North Carolina.

"I have been absolutely astounded at the kindness and professionalism of City of Oaks. They have made the hardest time of my life - losing my father - so much easier with regard to everything that comes after."
"City Of Oaks made a very sad and emotionally draining experience as easy as it could possibly be. Somer and her staff were extremely caring, informative, and made this process a smooth one. From the initial meeting, to the choices of services/products, and the final acceptance, we always felt our needs and feelings were the upmost importance. Also, all costs are set out initially, and there are no “hidden fees” or necessary add-ons."
"The compassion and kindness and generosity shown by Edward and Trey to my family and me during a really sad time made the cremation process more bearable. It was important to us to know that our loved one was being received and cared for in a respectful and loving way. They took time to let us share with them about our loved one and we felt comforted. They were very thoughtful with their suggestions and showed us they genuinely cared about how our loss affected each member of our family. They were truly a blessing to us!"
