The White Haven Memorial Park Nature Trails

Looking for a peaceful final resting spot for yourself or your loved one? Many people search for alternatives to a cemetery. Often times, cemeteries can be exposed to busy roads and harsh traffic noises and seem cold and gloomy from crowding and towering monuments. White Haven Memorial Park offers a natural alternative to lay loved ones to rest in peace and quiet..

Nature Trails for Cremation Burial

White Haven Memorial Park and Canandaigua Lakeview Cemetery nature trails wind through natural forests that will offer a peaceful setting for you, for your loved ones and for all who visit them. The beautiful sounds of nature will soothe you, as the birds chirp and the streams bubble. Mature pine trees, a blissful pond, are all sites to see along our beautiful forest paths. The forest is filled with wildlife and added waterfalls, to create a sense of serenity, putting your mind at ease. Birds, deer, foxes, and turkeys wander the woods, giving the trails life.

The rocks along the trail represent spots where someone was buried. We can offer a bronze plaque to include information about your loved one, like special phrases or nicknames. Due to the limited space amongst the trees in these natural surroundings, only burials of cremated remains can be accepted in the forest. Burials may be made directly in the earth or in your choice of urn, including biodegradable urns. The bronze plaques on individual rocks include information for one or two people. Or, you can choose a larger space with a rock that can hold several plaques to remember several members of a family. Coming back to visit your loved one can be a peaceful and comforting experience, surrounded by the tranquility of nature.

White Haven Memorial Park and Canandaigua Lakeview Cemetery are not your average cemeteries. We offer a unique and peaceful atmosphere, putting your mind at ease through these tough times. Our nature trails leave you with a message that celebrating and honoring a life is special, even after death. To learn more about our variety of services including both full casket and cremation burials, contact White Haven Memorial Park at 585-586-5250.  

Cremation Burial Options at White Haven

When a loved one passes on, there are a number of burial and memorialization choices to consider.  In recent years, cremation has become a frequent option for those looking to save money and decrease stress during this difficult time.  It is important to understand, though, that cremation is not an end in itself, but merely one means of preparing a body for burial and memorialization.  Some people keep a loved one’s cremated remains in their personal possession; others scatter them in a special place, but in doing so they miss out on the many benefits of a permanent burial spot.

At White Haven, we create special places that people actually WANT to visit. And we

offer the widest range of burial options for those who choose cremation, including our forest nature trail, traditional ground burial, or elegant above-ground burial.

Take a closer look at our cremation burial options:

• In our Nature Trail, you can choose a site near a tree, pond or waterfall.  This is a great option, with the sights and sounds of nature all around you.
• Our Maplewood Mausoleum features lighted, glass-fronted niches to display an urn and photograph of your choice in a comfortably furnished setting you can visit all year round.
• We also have several unique options for a couple to consider when one person chooses cremation and the other does not.

Doesn’t your loved one deserve the dignity and respect of a permanent burial site?  Take a look at the importance of choosing permanent burial:

• All friends and family members have a special place to visit and remember.
• At White Haven, friends and family can visit, bring a flower or make a dedication in honor of a birthday, anniversary or any special occasion.
• All friends and family members can visit a neutral location without anyone else’s knowledge or permission.
• Unlike churches, private residences or public parks, White Haven will always be here, protected by law and open to visitation by one and all.
• White Haven will always provide a permanent record of your loved one’s life, with their name and life highlights for all to see.
