Coordinating a funeral doesn’t have to be a stressful, complicated experience. During this time, you are facing the challenging emotions of losing a loved one.

Details of the Service

What style of service is a good fit for your family? Start by considering traditions that should be carried from generations in the past. Some families have religious practices or certain customs that they desire to include in the service. We promise the highest levels of respect for families from all backgrounds. Our team is here to ensure that your traditions and customs are designed just as you desire.

This event can be a formal event, such as a traditional funeral. Or, some people prefer a light-hearted gathering to celebrate a life well-lived. As you are planning the funeral or memorial, consider the number of people who will be invited to attend. The size of the group will influence your decision regarding the location of the event. For example, an intimate memorial that includes only close family members can be held at home or in the backyard. On the other hand, a large group might need to be hosted in a church or funeral home.

Are there any smaller services that should take place before or after the funeral? You might schedule a time for an open-casket viewing or a closed-casket family greeting. If the casket or urn will be placed in a cemetery, then you might consider the benefits of a procession and graveside service.

Care of the Remains

The other main decision that needs to be addressed is how the remains will be laid to rest. Certain laws and regulations must be followed regarding where a person can be buried. You can choose a local cemetery for a traditional casket burial. Or, talk to us about cremation if you prefer more flexibility regarding the location of where the person is laid to rest.

A range of decisions needs to be addressed to care for the remains. For example, if you prefer to have an open-casket viewing, then we will discuss services such as embalming to preserve the body. Or, if you want to keep it simple, then consider the benefits of cremation instead of a full, traditional burial.
