Valhalla offers burial and cremation, with indoor and outdoor mausoleum space, niches and crypts, and permanent memorialization. Arrangements for a funeral and for a resting place can both be made at Valhalla.

Planning ahead is available for anyone who would like to make their own arrangements in advance, for the funeral and for the cemetery both. Wishes are written down. There is no obligation and no pressure, and questions are welcome by telephone.
