INTERMENT at Historic Ivy Lawn Beautiful, Timeless … and Still Available.

We are committed to providing elegant, tranquil and environmentally sensitive interment space now and well into the future. Current burial sites include features such as gardens, historic areas, woodland gardens and scenic overlooks, and accommodate a wide range of memorial styles and interment options.

There are many burial options here at Ivy Lawn, from burial in the ground, to placement in an indoor and outdoor niches, outdoor crypts or scattering gardens. Choose from a variety of settings, sizes, and price points. Whatever you select, your purchase includes endowment care which is the maintenance of the cemetery including all graves, niches, crypt and gardens.

Individual Plots

Full size graves are located throughout the 60 acres of Ivy Lawn. You will be introduced to the new section developed in response to today’s evolving needs for burial and commemoration. Depending upon your need and desire we will try to lead you to the perfect location. If you have family here we will attempt to find a location that may be close to them, or you may have a view or direction that may be important. Granite benches are located throughout the park, which offer tree lined roads, beautiful gardens and many historical settings.

Family Plots

Ivy Lawn offers “family plots” in select areas of the cemetery. Family plots are purchased at one time, in increments of either six or twelve contiguous graves. These plots are indivisible as they are meant to provide families the opportunity to be together.

These are special areas designed to accommodate large “upright” monuments which require larger spaces to allow for easements. The monument upright marker is placed in the easement section of the plots.

You will appreciate the encompassing sculpted granite monuments, each individually designed by the family, that stand tall and provide space for personalized inscriptions.

Above Ground Burial

Ivy Lawn offers the option of above ground burial in its many crypts which can be found inside the chapel or mausoleum, or outside in a garden setting or building. Ivy Lawn provides a succession of blooming shrubs and smaller perennial plants for the enjoyment of all visitors to this unique and sacred location.

You will experience the architecture of our historic mausoleum which is graced by the mosaic created by Igor de Kansky in 1963. This mosaic represents the transition from life to eternity. The Ivy Lawn commission is one of his earliest works and represents the cultural expression of that time period that is today called Mid Century in art and architecture.

The Ivy lawn chapel has just undergone restoration to insure protection and enjoyment of the exquisite examples of stained glass art in the chapel that represent styles and artistic technology from the 1920’s through the 1960’s.

Cremation Gardens

To address the national trend toward cremation, a large number of spaces for cremated remains are available.

The many gardens within the glory of Ivy Lawn will accommodate burial of cremated remains. In addition, a number of garden burials with individual markers are available, as well as burials in upright monument locations. To embrace the needed individuality of every family, Ivy Lawn provides many styles of gardens to choose from.

We offer in-ground burial of urns, either single or double. The gardens designed for these burials will offer choices of grave markers, both in style and size, different locations which offer amenities unique to each garden area, and each garden offers a different feeling of character. We have something for everyone.

Niches

If you prefer not to choose an in-the-ground burial, Ivy Lawn can offer you many options with the purchase of a niche. This is called “Inurnment”. It is the placement of cremated remains, often held in a small container called a cremation urn, into a specially designed, above-ground structure for permanent memorializing. Cremation niches will you offer a world of choices and variety. Ivy Lawn Memorial Park has designed locations that allow for individual options to fulfill the need of every customer. A niche will allow for placement of the urn in a very personal location that you can choose. A niche may be a standard size and can accommodate either a single urn or two urns may fit into the same niche.

Choices of niches will include your choice or preference of a location. You can choose indoor or outdoor locations, which may include choosing a garden setting, a wall niche, or columbarium. You will be able to choose the height of the niche location so that you are able to touch, see or look at the niche. Choices will include options of marble front niches, bronze front niches, glass front niches, and granite front niches. Your choice will determine the type of memorial plaque, marker, name plate, or marker you can choose that will match your choice of niche.

Our caring staff can help assist you to understand each and every step and provide a picture of what you want so that the niche will provide a resting place but also a place to come to remember.
