Planning a funeral in Concord, CA

There are a handful of funeral homes to choose from in the city of Concord, and you can also find a wider variety by looking at funeral homes in surrounding cities, such as Martinez, Lafayette, Walnut Creek and Brentwood. Cremation is more popular than burial in the state of California, so you’ll find that many of the funeral homes in Concord specialize in cremation, but almost all can perform funeral services for a burial, as well.

In general cremations are considered to be more environmentally friendly and affordable than burial, but the choice between burial and cremation should come down to personal preference. Some people (and religions) feel more comfortable keeping their loved one’s body whole. If you’re interested in a burial in Concord, you’ll find only one cemetery in the city itself, but several others if you’re willing to look at adjoining towns. You may want to visit a few cemeteries to get a feel for where you’re most likely to visit.
