CONDUCTING THE BURIAL

Families are not only allowed to participate, but they are also expected and encouraged to as part of their ritual. Families may hand dig and close their own graves at no extra charge but must be sure they can complete the process.

Families are expected to transport the decedent to the burial ground either themselves or with the help of a funeral home; from the vehicle to the grave site (pallbearers); and lower the body into the ground per direction of the burial ground administration. Should this not be possible, please let us know so we can determine if alternate arrangements can be made and if so, the amount of the fee.

Payment Methods

You will never be charged for anything that is not itemized on your contract or receipt prior to burial. Payment may be made via cash, cashier's check, or Visa credit card. I do pass on my processing fee for credit cards which is 3.5%.

The Good Earth is now offering 1 year same as cash financing on full plots with a 10% down payment and the remaining balance amortized over 12 months. Note that any balance is due prior to time of burial regardless of how many payments have been made.

Due to the recent change in Alabama Law with the help of the Institute for Justice, The Good Earth can now sell funeral merchandise. You do NOT need to use any type casket your loved one can be buried in a natural fabric such as a cotton sheet or any biodegradable casket . Please advise what you choose so it can be approved prior to your purchase.
