Funeral Arrangements

The funeral service is one of the most important parts of an individual’s final arrangements. This is true whether you are pre-planning for yourself or planning for a loved one. A funeral service allows for significant personalization, which helps to ensure that it is just as unique as the life that it honors.

A funeral service can be used to help honor, recognize, and celebrate the life of the deceased. It also allows friends and family the opportunity to both say their last goodbyes and console the family of the loved one. Funeral services are important to help provide closure after the loss of a loved one.

Burial Services

One of the initial decisions that must be made is whether you or your loved one prefers burial or cremation. This is important because the decision will likely influence the other considerations of the funeral arrangements, like the specific service or type of cemetery property.

Cremation Services

A cemetery property is often overlooked for those who choose cremation, though it is still a vital factor. A permanent site will provide many benefits for the ashes or cremated remains of a loved one. It gives a physical place for the visitation and reflection of loved ones of the deceased. The relevant ceremony is also necessary to help provide family and friends with closure after their loss. Additionally, a permanent location will prevent the remains from becoming misplaced over the years.

Funeral Services

A funeral service can be either formal or informal. They are an important way to provide closure to friends and family of the deceased. Specific faiths or cultures may determine some elements of a funeral service, but other elements can be personalized to fit the person. The casket or urn is usually present at a funeral service.

Memorial or Celebration of Life Services

Unlike funeral services, the casket or urn is generally not present at a memorial or a celebration of life service. Otherwise, they are very similar to a funeral service. They give family and friends the opportunity to gather in your memory and celebrate your life.

Veterans

Special ceremonies are used to honor veterans. The honors awarded will depend primarily on the status of the veteran. Our services can help you to determine the best possible ceremony for your loved one.

Graveside Services

As the name would suggest, a graveside service is held at the grave site. This service can be performed before, after, or in place of traditional funeral services. These services usually include final memories, remarks, or prayers.

Cemetery Property

Cemetery property is another important aspect of planning for a deceased loved one. Many people think that they are purchasing the land when they pay for a cemetery plot. However, the fact is that they have actually purchased the right to be interred on or in that piece of land.

Headstones

There are many different options to memorialize loved ones. Some cemeteries primarily use headstones that are designed to lie flat against the earth, which helps them to preserve the natural appearance of the landscape. Monuments, or upright headstones, are another potential choice for memorialization. Each of these options comes in many different sizes, shapes, and colors.
