Funeral services are a vital part of the healing process, offering friends and family the opportunity to gather, share memories, and find closure. Whether formal or informal, traditional or non-traditional, the service can be tailored to reflect the personality and values of your loved one. It could take place at your home, outdoors, or in one of our facilities, and can include elements such as music, poetry, or art to create a deeply personal tribute. Whatever you choose, we are here to help you create a meaningful tribute to your loved one’s life journey.
Gathering, Visitation, and Viewing
A gathering of family and friends, often called a visitation or viewing, provides an opportunity to pay final respects to the deceased. Whether the casket is open or closed, these gatherings can occur in various locations, including the funeral home, a place of worship, or another meaningful venue.
Chapel Service
A chapel service at the funeral home provides a more flexible, intimate venue for honoring your loved one. The funeral home’s chapel can be personalized to reflect the unique life of the deceased and can accommodate a variety of service styles, whether traditional or contemporary. This option allows for a more relaxed atmosphere and can include religious elements, personal tributes, music, and other meaningful additions.
Religious Ceremony at a Place of Worship
A religious ceremony at your loved one’s place of worship offers a familiar and sacred setting for family and friends to gather. This service is typically led by a clergy member or spiritual leader and incorporates religious rituals, prayers, and traditions that hold special meaning to the deceased and their family.
Graveside Service at the Cemetery
A graveside service occurs at the cemetery, typically at the site of the burial. It can either stand alone as a simple and intimate gathering or be held after a chapel or church service. This option allows family and friends to gather outdoors as the final prayers, tributes are farewells are given.
Service Packages
While you can pick and choose the service options that are important to you, we also offer service packages, which bundle common options into a single price and can still be modified to meet your family’s individual preferences. For more detailed information, please give us a call.
