Which are the types of burial in Oregon?

• A. Conventional/lawn burial, green/natural burial, military burial.
• B. Above-ground mausoleum burial only.
• C. Cremation with urn scattering as the only option.
• D. Water burial without container.

Answer: (A)

In Oregon, burial options fall into a few broad categories that cover most families’ choices: conventional or lawn burial, green or natural burial, and military burial. Conventional/lawn burial is the traditional ground interment in a cemetery, typically with a casket or container. Green or natural burial focuses on environmentally friendly choices—biodegradable materials, no or minimal embalming, and a burial in a natural setting with a simple marker. Military burial refers to burial options available to veterans and eligible service members, usually in a national or veterans cemetery with honors, coordinated benefits, and a grave marker.

This set is the best answer because it reflects the main, widely available types of burial people actually choose in Oregon: traditional ground burial, eco-friendly alternatives, and veteran-related burial options. The other choices are narrower or not generally described as the full range of burial types—for example, a single option like above-ground mausoleums isn’t the only path, cremation with urn scattering isn’t the only cremation outcome, and water burial without a container isn’t a standard, universally available category.
