Celebrating Tradition

August 31, 2022 by Kelly Crossley

At Williamsburg Memorial Park, we have a special tradition: honoring your traditions. For 60 years, our goal has been to honor those who have been laid to rest here and to celebrate each family’s special traditions.

When planning a memorial, every detail that’s important to your family, heritage, and background is important to us. With so many different local cultures, it’s important that we serve everyone in our community equally. “Our community is diverse, and so are we,” says General Manager, Angela Byrum.

The act of placing visitation stones is significant in Jewish bereavement practices. If a Jewish family visits Williamsburg Memorial Park and wants to honor the tradition of bodies returning to the Earth, needing shovels, and washing hands at the gravesite, we will happily provide these items.

Chinese mourners believe that burning paper money will provide their deceased family members with everything they need in the afterlife. If a Chinese family wants to burn money and light incense at their memorial, we will do everything we can to honor this tradition.

Every religion, nationality, and family has its own way of celebrating life. Our Family Service Counselors are experts in a wide range of traditions and will do everything they can to accommodate your special requests.

If your family has a non-traditional way of celebrating your loved one, we will work with you to make sure your memorial is as special as the person you are honoring. A meeting with one of our staff members will ensure that the farewell given to your loved one will be a truly memorable experience—for both you and your family.

Fight Inflation. Prepare Now.

August 31, 2022 by Kelly Crossley

According to the International Cemetery Cremation Funeral Directors Association (ICCFA), the average cost of a funeral doubles every ten years, which places additional financial stress on families that may already be struggling.

At Williamsburg Memorial Park, we can help alleviate the stress associated with rising costs by helping you plan NOW. One of our main goals is to make sure your family isn’t sitting across the table from us several years from now and being told that the funeral you planned is much more expensive than you expected.

In fact, one of the benefits of pre-planning is that the funeral you pay for today, will be secured and locked in for the future—regardless of price increases. This will alleviate a lot of the financial stress associated with a funeral.

Why is pre-planning important?

Your family and friends should be able to mourn and celebrate your life without added stress. By addressing your future needs now, you’ll feel a sense of peace knowing that you won’t cause additional heartache or financial burden. Plus, your loved ones won’t emotionally overspend and your funeral will be exactly what you want!

Better yet, by pre-planning now, you’ll get a better lot location and you can save space for other family members. Even if you end up moving out of the area, any purchase you make can be transferred to another participating property through the ICCFA Credit Exchange Plan.

To get started, contact us today!

Memorial Day 2021

May 20, 2021 by Kelly Crossley

For nearly 50 years, Williamsburg Memorial Park has proudly sponsored an annual 2-hour live Memorial Day Celebration. Unfortunately, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to cancel this year’s event.

However, we will still be placing American flags on the graves of more than 1,200 U.S. veterans who are buried here, which includes 21 new interments since last year. We encourage you and your family to visit your loved one this Memorial Day weekend and see how we honor those who have honored us with their service. FREE American flags will be available this Memorial Day weekend at our Customer Care Center so you can decorate your loved one’s grave.

Rest assured, that we remain committed to this important community event and will restart our live Memorial Day Celebration in 2022. In the meantime, we invite you to view our 2020 Memorial Day video below, which includes a special message from our General Manager, Angela Byrum, a brief history of Memorial Day by Tim Dice, and an amazing performance of “God Bless the USA” by Ray Gresham, 1st Sergeant, U.S. Army (retired). The video also includes dozens of heartwarming photos from some of our previous celebrations and concludes with a matched donation offer for the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank. Enjoy.

Help Families in Need

Every time you share our Memorial Day video, we’ll donate $1 to our friends at the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, up to $600. That’s enough money for 2,400 meals! You can help too. Simply click the button below and we’ll connect you with Virginia Peninsula Foodbank’s secure donation portal.

A single dollar can provide up to four healthy meals to individuals, families, children, seniors, and veterans across the greater Peninsula area—providing comfort and hope to those who need it the most. Plus, your donation is tax-deductible. Together, we can make a difference. Please donate today.
