We
offer many options when planning a
funeral service. We give the family the
opportunity to choose a traditional
service or a highly personalized
service, and many choices in between.
Our goal is to help plan and provide a
meaningful tribute to your loved one.
Traditional Service:
A funeral service where the casket is
present at the church or chapel. The
service is preceded by one or two days
visitation and viewing at the funeral
home. Traditional services usually
include scripture readings, music,
eulogy and a sermon. After the service,
there is a procession to the cemetery
for the committal service.
Committal (Graveside) Service:
A brief ceremony at the gravesite that
follows the funeral service. If there
is only a service at the graveside (no
funeral service), it may include
scripture reading and eulogy.
Memorial Service:
This is a service when the deceased is
not present. A memorial service may be
used following earth burial or
cremation. It may be held at a church,
funeral home chapel, family home, event
center or even outdoors. It is often a
time when personal memories are shared
and gives the family and friends time to
be together to comfort each other.
Traditional Service followed by
Cremation:
This allows the family to have
visitation, viewing and a traditional
funeral service, which is followed by
cremation.
Direct Cremation:
With this service there is no visitation
or funeral service.
Cremation Services with Viewing Options:
There are several options for the family
to have viewing and visitation for
specified times followed by cremation.
Direct Burial:
This type of service does not include
visitation or funeral service. The body
is placed in a casket, and the casket is
transported to the cemetery for
immediate burial. There are no
graveside rites, and is done at the
convenience of the funeral home. |
