Service Options
Full Service Funeral
A visitation period in the funeral home with the body present, followed by a funeral service. The funeral service can occur in our funeral home or a facility of your choosing.
Memorial Service
A memorial service is a service of celebration during which the body is not present. Cremated remains may or may not be present. This memorial service may be held in the funeral home or a facility of your choosing.
Cremation
Cremation is a way of reducing the body to bone fragments, but is not a method of disposing of the body. The questions of viewing, visitation, service and final disposition must be addressed.
Cremation can occur at any point in the sequence.
- it could occur after a visitation/funeral sequence
- it could follow a visitation period and thus precede a memorial service
- it could occur directly after a family viewing or after identification by family members
There are a variety of ways in which cremation can be part of the funeral process, and these choices should be thoughtfully considered.
Transfer Service
This service is offered for families who choose to have a direct burial or cremation with no professional involvement for visitation or service.
