Burial Services

Burial Service Options

At Carroll-Waters Funerals & Cremations, we are dedicated to helping families select the service options that best honor their loved one’s life while respecting their budget. Our burial services provide a range of meaningful ways to celebrate and remember, offering comfort and connection during a time of loss.


Whether you choose a visitation, traditional funeral, or graveside ceremony, we work closely with you to create a personalized farewell that reflects your loved one’s unique story. We understand that every family’s needs are different, which is why we offer flexible, affordable options and compassionate guidance throughout the process so you can focus on honoring your loved one with peace of mind.

Visitation

A viewing provides an opportunity to say goodbye and pay their respects on a more intimate level. Spending time with the deceased before their service, whether privately or with family and friends, can be profoundly healing and can help those grieving accept their loss and begin to heal.

Traditional Funeral Service

Funeral services can be held in our chapel, a church, or any location that holds meaning for your family. We work closely with you to design a service that truly reflects your loved one’s life, incorporating stories, music, scripture, or other personal touches. For families who choose not to involve clergy, our funeral directors are available to lead the service. They are specially trained to create meaningful, healing experiences that honor your loved one’s memory and support your journey through grief.

Graveside Service

A graveside or committal service is usually held immediately after the funeral and offers a meaningful moment of closure. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a larger group of family and friends, this service can be tailored to reflect what feels most personal and fitting for your loved one.

Carroll-Waters handles every aspect of a full burial — from casket selection to graveside services — so that your family can focus on healing. We serve all of North Carolina (including Charlotte, Cleveland, and surrounding areas) with consistent professionalism and care.
