Personalized Funerals
A traditional funeral service often consists of a visitation for friends and
family before the service.
A custom funeral service often consists of a gathering for friends
and family before the service. Usually this gathering is on the evening before
the service or for a period on the day of the service. The funeral service will
then be held in a church or at our funeral home chapel. The service then
concludes with a committal ceremony at the final resting place.
Some families choose to have a graveside service. These type
services are held completely at the grave site with no chapel or church
ceremony included.
Considering Cremation
Cremation is the process of reducing the body to a residue of fine ash and
calcium fragments called cremated remains, and is not a form of disposition. It
is the preparation for memorialization just as is the traditional funeral. Many
people believe that at the time of death only two basic choices exist:
immediate cremation of the body or a complete funeral including viewing
followed by burial.
Actually, these are extremes. With cremation, there are often more
decisions to make than with traditional earth burial. You should take whatever
time necessary to make those decisions. Please feel free to ask any questions
that you may have. Types of services available are from very traditional
services - to memorial services - to no service at all.
While these descriptions below cover the general types of cremation
services, your choices are not required to fit exactly into any particular
category. There are literally options within options available to provide a
meaningful service with flexibility to meet the needs of each person or family
that we serve.
Many families, realizing that the ceremonies surrounding death are
for the survivors, most often desire traditional visitation periods and
services that preclude the actual cremation.
This allows for both the families' desire for sharing their loss
with their family, friends, and community, while allowing for the desire for
cremation. Whatever type of service you desire with cremation you will have to
select a container or casket to place the body in for the actual cremation, and
an urn. An urn is a dignified, permanent container for cremated human remains.
