a celebration of life. As a Malachi House resident, you may choose to be interred at the historic and beautiful Lake View Cemetery at the Malachi House Vault. This option for interment will remove the emotional and financial burden for you and/or your family and provides scenic grounds for your final resting place. Funeral home and cremation arrangements must be in place before you can opt in for burial in the Malachi House Vault at Lake View Cemetery. A celebration of life and the interment of urns in the Malachi House Vault will take place once a year. At this time each year, Malachi House will pay the interment fee to Lake View Cemetery.
