Flexible Burial Services
River Bend provides spaces for full casket burial, cremation burial, or in our columbarium. We allow an upright monument or a bench as the main headstone on most of our lots. Furthermore, graves can be used for casket burials and/or numerous cremation burials.

Pre-Planning
Many families are electing to make burial arrangements on a pre-need basis. Planning ahead provides time to consider the interment options and discuss our available services. The grieving process takes time for everyone, and planning ahead provides the opportunity to support their friends and family while making these important decisions.
All of the burial lots in River Bend are available for pre-purchase. Please call the office at 401-596-2724 to discuss this option. Our friendly staff will schedule an appointment to tour River Bend, and explain everything about purchasing a cemetery space and planning a memorial service.
In conjunction with purchasing a cemetery space, we recommend contacting a funeral home, and potentially your attorney, to plan funeral arrangements.
