Services

A funeral service is a special time for family and friends to comfort one another, begin to find healing and celebrate a life well lived. Whether you choose burial or cremation, you can hold a funeral service to honor your loved one. We are happy to provide a traditional funeral or something completely unique. Many cultures and religions have special funeral traditions and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. This is a moment for you and your family and we are honored to help you in any way that we can.

Just like a funeral service, a memorial service is a time to remember your loved one. This can be held shortly after death or weeks later, with or without an urn present. What’s important is that it creates a time and a place for family and friends to gather together and support one another, share memories and pay their respects. We can hold a memorial service at our funeral home, the final resting place or at your home. 

A casket burial is a traditional service and there are many options you can choose from. We can provide an immediate burial without a public service; a visitation, viewing or wake with a closed or open casket; a funeral service at our funeral home, church or private home and a graveside service at a cemetery. You can choose whether you’d like a public or private service or a combination. It is entirely up to you how you wish to pay your respects. 

With just one call, our caring team can arrange to have your loved one transported to any state or country in a price conscious manner. Working with a funeral home of your selection located at the final destination, we will be sure that the service for your loved one takes place seamlessly. The transportation of your loved one is a delicate matter, one which you should be fully involved in.

If your loved one was honorably discharged from the any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, he or she is entitled to an American Flag with optional Honor Ceremony, and a free headstone provided by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs with the proper paperwork which we will be more than glad to help you fill out, if necessary.   We can also help you pre-plan; just call us to speak to our funeral director and learn about all of your options.
