Traditional Interment

In the United States, traditional interment, or in-ground burial, is a widely practiced method for the final disposition of the deceased. This process involves placing the deceased in a casket, which is then interred in the earth. In California, regulations mandate that grave spaces be lined with a durable burial container made from materials such as concrete or steel. Each gravesite is typically marked with a monument or marker, bearing the deceased's name, birth, and death dates, and may include personalized engravings or images. The East Kern Cemetery District provides a variety of traditional interment options, catering to adults, children, and companions.
