Burial Services

We offer a variety of burial services tailored to your individual needs and preferences:

Immediate Burial: The loved one is buried or entombed without a public service.
Visitation (Viewing/Wake): Family and friends gather with the deceased in an open or closed casket to offer support and say goodbye.
Funeral or Memorial Service: Held at a funeral home, church, or home, these personalized ceremonies celebrate and honor the deceased's life.
Graveside, Chapel, or Committal Service: Conducted at the cemetery, this service allows family and friends to witness the final disposition through ground burial.

For more information on personalizing these services, please contact us directly.

Cremation Services

A common misconception is that cremation prevents the possibility of holding a funeral service or visitation. This is not true; you can still have a memorial service to celebrate your loved one's life, with many options available for honoring their memory. After cremation, you can choose from various final disposition methods:

Interment: Bury or entomb your loved one's cremated remains in a family plot, memorial site, cremation niche, or urn garden. Consult our staff for detailed interment options.
Graveside Service: Similar to traditional burial, this service allows loved ones to honor the deceased during the burial of the cremated remains with prayers and tributes.
Scattering: Spread the cremated remains in a memorial garden, cemetery, over water, or any meaningful location. You may also choose to scatter some remains while retaining the rest in an urn for interment.
Multiple Urns: Distribute the cremated remains into several urns, enabling family members separated by distance to have a nearby resting place for their loved one.

These options allow for meaningful tributes that reflect the individuality of your loved one.
