Our Services
Casket, columbarium, or cremation — River Bend provides every burial option to respectfully memorialize our family and friends.
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.
Casket Burials
We have lots available with as many graves a family may need.
Cremation
Cremation-only gardens are situated on the shore of the Pawcatuck River.
Columbarium
Above ground spaces are available in our columbarium.
We respectfully require that graves are paid for in full before interment is permitted.
Tree Beautification Program
Anyone can memorialize a loved one, buried in River Bend Cemetery or elsewhere, by having a tree planted to beautify the cemetery. Participants in the program have the option to install a 24" x 12" flush marker at the base of the tree, which would be purchased through a monument company of their choosing.
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.

Power washing with a special stone cleaner will restore monuments or markers to look just like new. Interested? Give us a ring at 401-596-2724.
