Traditional Burial

Traditional burial is a time honored choice for many families.  A traditional burial may include interment in the ground or in a mausoleum.  The process may take place with or without a funeral or memorial service.  Many families prefer to help the healing and grieving process by including a funeral or service.  There are many ways to add more personal meaning to a funeral or memorial service.  Or staff will gladly assist you in creating a special memorial that may include personal items, treasured possessions, photos, video, and favorite music to personalize the service.

We are committed to helping you decide the best way to celebrate your loved one's life, at your own pace, in your own way.

Cremation

Today, many people chose cremation.  There is no such thing as a "typical" cremation.  We can help you choose from the many services that may accompany the cremation process.

Memorialization is an important part of cremation.  Memorial services, gatherings, and visitations may be arranged, and after the process is complete, there are many other choices.  Some families choose to keep the cremated remains, while others request disposal at sea, or scattering in a place that has special meaning.  Many cemeteries in our area maintain a memorial garden where cremated remains may be scattered and returned to nature.

Please ask about the beautiful and appropriate commemorative possibilities that accompany the cremation process.

Reception Services

Socializing after the funeral allows family and friends to support each other as they continue to deal with their loss.  Many times families and friends travel distances to attend the services and find it helpful to have a meal or reception with the family prior to returning to their respective homes. If a family prefers not to hold a traditional service, a gathering that includes a reception, luncheon or dinner is still a warm gesture, and a healing event.

The reception facilities we offer are designed to make this type of gathering comfortable and less stressful, for families and their guests.  If you have a special food or theme request, we can help. Every convenience is here, leave the details to us.
