Burial SERVICES
Compassionate options for every family, guided with dignity and personal attention.
When a family chooses burial, they are selecting more than a final resting place — they are preserving a legacy in a place of reflection and remembrance. Whether you are seeking a traditional burial, above-ground entombment, or the interment of cremated remains, Sunset Memorial Oaks is here to guide you with warmth, clarity, and care. We support families across Del Rio, Brackettville, and New Braunfels—offering meaningful burial solutions tailored to your preferences and traditions.
In Del Rio, we proudly serve through our own Sunset Memorial Oaks Cemetery, a perpetual care cemetery dedicated to honoring legacies in a peaceful and well-maintained setting. In New Braunfels, we work closely with local, trusted cemeteries to ensure every burial is handled with the same level of dignity and personal service our families deserve.
No matter your location, our team walks with you—every step of the way.
Types of Burial Options
Explore the options available to you:
Traditional In-Ground Burial
A timeless tradition offering lasting peace and a place for generations to gather.
A timeless and traditional choice.
Traditional In-ground burial involves the placement of a casket or urn within the earth. Families may choose a single space, a companion plot, or a family estate area.
It’s often accompanied by a graveside or chapel service. We coordinate every detail—from burial vaults and opening/closing to floral tributes and military honors where applicable.
Mausoleum Entombment
An above-ground option providing elegance, permanence, and shelter from the elements.
A graceful and above-ground option.
Mausoleum burials offer above-ground crypts and niches. This type of burial provides protection from the elements and eliminates the need for a traditional grave.
It’s ideal for families who want a climate-controlled memorial space or those who wish to be interred together in a shared wall crypt.
Burial of Cremated Remains
Combines the simplicity of cremation with a permanent resting place for reflection and remembrance.
A meaningful way to combine cremation with traditional burial.
Families who choose cremation often still prefer a permanent resting place. Options include burial in a standard plot, placement in a cremation garden, or within our columbarium niches.
This ensures a physical place for remembrance—a site where future generations can visit, reflect, and honor.
