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.

Before you make an irreversible decision you may one day regret, consider the benefits of a permanent burial.  At White Haven, we believe EVERY life should be remembered forever.  With a variety of lovely settings and a full range of services, we can help provide you with cremation burial options that friends and family members will visit for years to come.  For more information, please visit White Haven Memorial Park or call (585) 586-5250.

White Haven's Nature Trail

Located in Pittsford, New York, White Haven Memorial Park has a variety of lovely settings and a range of options for your burial requests. When you are looking at future options for you or a loved one, consider a natural cremation burial located in the scenic area. White Haven's Nature Trail offers a unique burial option located around a serene pond, under mature pine trees or along a babbling brook. With many cremation burial sites along our beautiful forest paths, White Haven Memorial Park might be the best possible choice for you to commemorate a life lived. 

Called "The Forest", part of the Nature Trail is a stunning forest with plenty of wildlife and added waterfalls. Listen to the soothing sounds of water and enjoy the hums of birds, deer, fox and turkeys wandering by. This picturesque setting is a calm and peaceful place to celebrate the beauty of life. 

Along White Haven's Nature Trail, there are rocks scattered around with bronze plaques. The rocks represent specific spots where someone was buried and the plaques tell a little about them including their names, the dates they lived, and a special phrase or nickname. Because of the limited space amongst the trees in these natural surroundings, only cremations can be accepted in the forest. Burial may be made directly in the earth or in your choice of urn, including biodegradable urn. Memorialization in our nature trail offers a natural rock and a bronze plaque for 1 person or a double space for 2 people. You can even choose a space together for a whole family. 

People often think of cemeteries as gloomy, spooking and scary. When it comes to White Haven, our property is just the opposite. Our nature trail is filled with life and all kinds of reminders that life does go on. If you are interested in an excellent alternative to scattering by providing a special place for loved ones to visit and remember a life well lived, choose a permanent place in our natural setting. 

White Haven Memorial Park is not just your average cemetery. To learn more about our extensive range of services including both full casket and cremation burials, contact White Haven Memorial Park at 585-586-5250.
