What does "Interment Cemetary" mean in a death notice

[disneyfanatic60]

I don't mean to sound stupid, but I have a funeral to attend on Saturday. Actually, there is no prior visitation, just a church service. Then the announcement says "interment Cemetary." Does that mean the burial will be right after the church service or at a later time?

It just means the body is going to be buried at a cemetary. Internment=burial or placed in a crypt.

Is the church service AT a cemetary?

I am going to guess that it is right after the service.

The service is at a local church. I think that is why we are all not sure if there will be a burial immediate following.

My Uncle/Godfather passed away. I haven't seen him in about a year or so. Our families were very close growing up but grew apart as the kids got older, etc. It's my Dad's brother. They were not close at all. The reason I am asking may sound somewhat strange. My Mom passed away five years ago. She is buried in my Dad's family plot. My Uncle will be buried directly next to her. So I am trying to prepare myself and my children because I think it's going to be hard and bring back a lot of emotions. I realize we do not have to go but my Mom and Aunt were best friends when we were growing up. I feel I would be very disrespectful not only to my Aunt but to my Mom not to go to the cemetary. It's just going to be a difficult day filled with lots of emotions.

Usually that just means they've going to bury the person at the cemetery. Normally if they want you to go directly over there from the church, they'll say "internment at cemetery to follow" or something like that. If it's going to be private or just a small graveside thing, they'll say "vault internment @ blank cemetery" or something to that effect with no other instructions.
