Hillcrest Cemetery for Immediate Needs

In our daily routine, most people don’t give much thought to death and what happens when we lose a loved one. If a family hasn’t already made the necessary pre-arrangements at a cemetery, this is termed an “immediate need”. If someone you love has passed away, Hillcrest Cemetery can help you every step of the way in the planning process. We will carefully assist with the selection of a resting place, all interment documents and memorializing your loved one.

What is a burial vault and why does Hillcrest Cemetery require one?

A burial vault is a lined and sealed outer receptacle that houses the casket. It protects the casket from the weight of the earth and heavy maintenance equipment that will pass over the grave. It also helps resist water and preserves the beauty of the cemetery or memorial park by preventing the ground from settling.

If you have lost a loved one and need our assistance today, please call Hillcrest Cemetery at 440.232.0035 and ask to speak to one of our staff, or send your email request to info@hillcrest-cemetery.com
