Services and Ceremonies

At The Charles Sumner Bird Memorial Cemetery, we do everything possible to accommodate your beliefs and traditions and to provide for the physical and spiritual comfort of families.

The Charles Sumner Bird Memorial Cemetery offers a full range of ceremonies to honor and celebrate someone who has passed away and typically includes a burial.

Families are encouraged to practice their own customs and traditions.

We have very few restrictions on types of planting and mementos placed at memorials.

This enhances our ability to provide options for an almost unlimited personalization of services and ceremonies which are available seven days a week.
