The purpose of our phone call is to learn about your needs and provide you with as much information as is helpful. This call usually lasts 45-60 minutes. During our conversation, we’ll ask some questions, confirm your wishes for a natural burial, and outline the next steps together.

Name of the person who wishes to be buried at Reflection Park.
Date of birth and date of death (if known).
Name of next of kin, their relationship, and their contact information.
Name and contact information of funeral provider.

Love doesn’t die, people do. So, when all that’s left of me is love, give me away.
