Create Healing Experiences

In the depth of early grief, you might think that it would be ‘easier’ to just take care of things as simply – and as quickly –as possible. But easier – especially in this circumstance – simply isn’t better. You must set the stage for the future by giving your family and friends the opportunity to start the healing process.

Funeral Services

Traditional or Full Funeral Service

This type of funeral service usually included a viewing or visitation and visitation and formal funeral service, use of hearse to transport the body of your loved to the site of the funeral and cemetery and burial, entombment or cremation. 

Burial Services

Memorial Service

A memorial service is quite similar to a traditional funeral service, except the body of your Loved One- or cremated remains are not present.  

Cremation Services

Graveside Service

A graveside service is a service where the funeral service is held directly at the gravesite.  This service typically involves a small gathering of family and friends, who gather around the open grave to pay their final respects.

Preplanning of Funeral Service

Preplanning the funeral service has the benefit of planning and paying for the service prior to the time of need.    This gives the family peace of mind that occurs when you have made an important decision. There are several reasons why preplanning a funeral or cemetery purchase can be beneficial:

  • Reducing stress on loved ones:  Preplanning your funeral or cemetery purchase can ease the burden on your loved ones during a difficult time.  When you preplan, your family will not have to make difficult decisions or worry about arranging everything themselves.
  • Ensuring your wishes are met:  Preplanning allows you to make specific choices about the types of funeral and cemetery arrangements you want.  By doing this, you can ensure that your wishes are carried out exactly as you desire.
  • Financial benefits:  Preplanning can also offer financial benefits.  Funeral prices tend to increase over time, and by preplanning, you can lock in current prices and avoid future price increases. Additionally, by choosing to pay for your arrangements in advance, you can help your loved ones avoid financial stress after your passing.
  • Personalization:  Preplanning allows you to add personal touches to your funeral arrangements.  You can select specific readings, music, and even personalized items that reflect your personality and life.

Overall, preplanning a funeral or cemetery purchase can offer peace of mind and ensure that your wishes are carried out in a manner that reflects your life and values.
