Absolutely. Opting for cremation doesn't limit the ways you can celebrate your loved one's life.

We can help arrange a visitation or viewing prior to the cremation, and we always recommend holding a funeral or memorial service in honor of your loved one. It provides a meaningful opportunity for family and friends to say goodbye and begin the healing process.

In most cases, funeral homes expect payment in full before the service occurs. This ensures that all costs, such as the funeral director’s services, transportation, casket, and venue, are covered.

We offer a range of services to suit different budgets, from simple, intimate gatherings to grand ceremonies, as well as financing solutions for every budget.

We're here to guide you through the options, ensuring an informed choice that respects both your budget and your loved one's memory.

We offer solutions like live streaming and service recording, allowing everyone to be part of the ceremony, no matter where they are. We also create a personalized memorial website for your loved one, a place to share memories, photos, videos, and send heartfelt condolences or light a candle in their honor. Even from afar, everyone can feel close.

Personalized Memorial

Many funeral homes suggest embalming if you're planning a viewing or visitation. That's because they want the experience to be as good as it can be for those in attendance, and proper embalming can ensure the deceased looks as good as possible. But as a general rule, embalming is not necessary or legally required if the body is cared for in a relatively short amount of time. If is however required when the body is going to be viewed publicly prior to burial.

If your loved one has not made previous arrangements for their burial, leaving you to pick the location of their interment, the first thing you'll need to do involves the selection of the cemetery and burial location within the grounds. You'll also choose the most suitable casket and burial vault, and provide us with the clothing you'd like your loved one to wear (and any 'special items' you'd like us to place in the casket) . Once payment is made, the date and time of interment is agreed upon. At that time, the cemetery grounds keepers will take care of the "opening" and "closing" of the grave and the proper placement of the casket in the burial vault.

When we make arrangements for the direct burial of an individual, we are expediting their interment. There will be no funeral, memorial service or celebration-of-life; instead, we provide the physical care of the deceased (perhaps embalming their body, but certainly dressing and casketing) and then escort the casket to the cemetery for immediate burial.

Rather than having a service in a church or funeral home chapel, and then adjourning to the cemetery for the burial; some families choose to gather solely at the cemetery. There, they are led through a ceremony prepared by a clergy person or celebrant and witness the in-ground committal of their loved one's casket. If the idea of a graveside service appeals to you, speak with your funeral director about your options.
