FUNERAL POSSIBILITIES

FUNERAL AND MEMORIAL SERVICES

Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whether you choose burial or cremation; whether you select a formal funeral or a more relaxed memorial service, the need for acknowledgment of the loss with family and friends is ever present.

No matter where you decide to gather together, such a service will make a difference in the lives of all who attend.

BURIAL SERVICES

There is no ‘hard and fast’ formula for honoring your loved one when burial has been selected. We help you honor your cultural and religious traditions.

TRADITIONAL FUNERAL SERVICE

You can choose to follow tradition, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in a church or memorial chapel. Or you could decide to have a more relaxed service in a location of your choice.

A funeral service is typically officiated by a religious leader with the casket present. Upon the conclusion of the service, the family and guests proceed to the cemetery, led by the hearse. Choices of services are as unique as each family chooses.

GRAVESIDE SERVICES

A graveside service is held at the cemetery where burial is arranged. This is a set time for family and friends to come together, visit and show their support. This service is most often officiated by a family member or religious leader.  Some cemeteries offer a gazebo or other specific area to hold the service rather than right at the grave side.

IMMEDIATE BURIAL

An immediate burial is appropriate when no visitation, viewing, funeral or graveside service is desired. Once the deceased has been taken into our care, they are placed into refrigeration until the death certificate and disposition permit is completed. Our staff coordinates directly with the cemetery chosen by the family regarding the date and time of burial.

Family members are not present for the burial and are contacted when the burial is complete.

MEMORIAL SERVICE

A Memorial Service for family and friends takes place at a later date after the death of a loved one. It can be after the family has taken part in a private burial or after cremation.

The memorial service can be held in a chapel, in a park, or at the family’s home. It can be officiated by a family member or religious leader, as the family chooses. Or it can be just a relaxed time of sharing memories together.
