Burial Services in Lawrence County, AL – Honoring Tradition with Compassion and Care

At Midway Memorial Gardens, we understand that a burial is a deeply personal way to honor a loved one’s life and legacy. Our burial services are tailored to meet each family’s needs, from traditional in-ground burials to natural green options that reflect your family’s values. Our on-site team guides you through every step to give your family steady support and peace of mind.


As a state-licensed perpetual care cemetery, a portion of every sale is placed into a permanent trust fund to protect the long-term care of the grounds. This gives families lasting confidence that their loved one’s resting place will remain peaceful and well cared for.


With decades of experience, we deliver compassionate guidance through each stage of the process, from choosing a plot to coordinating service details. Our grounds offer a quiet and dignified setting for reflection, so your loved one’s final resting place feels meaningful and lasting.

Our Services

Types of Burial Services We Offer

Sunny cemetery with rows of gravestones and green trees under a clear sky
Traditional In-Ground Burial

The classic choice for many families, requiring vaults, with options for upright headstones, flat markers, or custom memorials. You can explore available options on our Vaults & Caskets and Headstones pages.

Small stone marker in a wooded park beside a gravel path, with trees and fallen leaves around it.
Green Burials

A cost-friendly alternative that uses biodegradable caskets or shrouds, all-natural limestone and flagstone tombstones that are locally sourced, and live flowers instead of artificial flowers.


Located in a wooded area with a creek flowing through, green burials allow the body to return naturally to the earth and preserve the surrounding landscape while creating a sustainable legacy.
