Services

We are committed to you and your personal preferences as we work together to design funeral or cremation services just the way you want it.  Our experience has shown us that most families select one of the following services, each of which can be personalized to meet your wishes.

Traditional Funeral Service with Visitation and Burial

This is the most commonly selected package that we offer and includes services of the funeral director, administrative staff, professional staff for coordinating, personalizing, and directing the funeral service, preparation and filing of legal documents, and other paperwork necessary to complete the arrangements.  In addition, also included is removal from the place of death to the funeral home, embalming and preparation of the deceased, use of facilities for up to four hours of visitation, use of the facilities for the service or set up at a church or other location, automotive equipment including funeral coach and service van, and graveside service.

Traditional Funeral Service with One Hour of Visitation Prior to Service and Burial

This plan includes services of the funeral director, administrative staff, professional staff for coordinating, personalizing, and directing the funeral service, preparation and filing of legal documents, and other paperwork necessary to complete the arrangements.  In addition, also included is removal from the place of death to the funeral home, embalming and preparation of the deceased, use of the facilities for one hour of visitation prior to the funeral service at the funeral home, church, or other location. It also includes automotive equipment including funeral coach and service van, and graveside service.

Graveside Funeral Service

This non-traditional service includes services of the funeral director, administrative staff, professional staff for coordinating, personalizing, and directing the funeral service, preparation and filing of legal documents, and other paperwork necessary to complete the arrangements.  In addition, also included is removal from the place of death to the funeral home, embalming and preparation of the deceased.  This non-traditional format does not include a forma funeral service, but rather it may include visitation the day before or the day of burial in addition to the graveside committal service.

Cremation Choices

Cremation provides an alternative to traditional funeral services, yet still allows the option of visitation and funeral services should they be selected.  Options for the deceased’s ashes include burial on the family plot, scattering of the ashes, placement in an urn to be kept at home, or places in a columbarium niche or other location.

Direct Cremation

This plan is the simplest form of disposition, and includes no ceremonies or rites.  It may take place only after obtaining a signed death certificate from the attending physician along with a signed authorization from the authorized agent of the deceased.

Pre-Arrangement

Pre-Arrangement of funeral instructions is a service we provide at no charge.  This option allows an individual to relieve their loved ones from the responsibility of making difficult and even costly decisions at a very emotional time.  We help them achieve the peace of mind that comes from knowing everything will be exactly as they want it to be.

It is very simple to pre-plan your funeral wishes.  Through the years we have seen how important it is for families to be prepared.  Planning funeral arrangements in advance is easier for everyone involved and may or may not include pre-payment.
