Traditional Funeral Service
The traditional service includes a closed or open viewing of the deceased. Later comes a service in a selected church or at the funeral home. This is followed by a burial service of the casket remains.
Caskets vary significantly in price depending on the material used to create them. Most cemeteries require that caskets be placed in a grave liner or a vault.
The Graveside Service
Some families elect to have the entire service portion of the funeral at the cemetery. This normally follows a viewing of the loved one at the funeral home.
Cremation Services
Complete Cremation Service
Our complete cremation service is identical to the traditional funeral service except that cremation will follow the service instead of casket burial. Caskets designed for cremation are specifically used for this. After all services are complete the cremated remains can be turned over to the family for safe keeping, buried or properly scattered. The cremated remains are contained in urns. Urns can be created out of a wide range of materials.
Direct Cremation
Direct cremation takes place when immediate disposition of the body is requested. It is often followed by a memorial service at a church, the funeral home or a special location. In this memorial service the body is not present. Prior to cremation families can choose to have body viewings for family and friends. A memorial service is important for the living to acknowledge the death of a loved one.
