What makes a burial 'standard?'

Embalming, a hardwood or metal casket, a vault or grave liner, and interment in a cemetery.

What advantages does a standard burial provide over other methods?

More than any other method, it allows you to cede complete control to a Funeral Director, who takes the body away, arranges transportation, and has the bereaved choose between casket options.

If I forego standard burial, can I still have a religious service?

Absolutely, but you'll want to plan ahead.

Does standard burial require upkeep of the gravesite?

Yes. This is usually in the form of a maintenance fee.

What about Mausoleums?

Not recommended, unless you're a fan of burping coffins or corpse flies.
