A funeral or memorial is a great way to connect with friends and family while also honoring the memories of the deceased. The disposition of the body, through burial or cremation, cares for your loved one. On the other hand, funeral or memorial ceremonies are centered on the deceased to provide closure and memories for attendees.

We invite you to learn more about available services so you can design the proper funeral care for your family. Here is an overview of some of the most common services.

• Traditional Burials: Traditional services for burial often start with a viewing, followed by a funeral event, procession to the cemetery, and end with a graveside service. We also offer various burial products you might need, including caskets, vaults, and headstones.
• Cremation Services: Instead of a cemetery, you can choose another location for the final resting place if desired. Cremated ashes can be scattered, kept in a memorial item, or distributed among family members.
• Graveside Services: Gather the family around the graveside in the final moments before the casket is lowered into the ground. Graveside services can be the main event. Or, you might choose to make it an add-on service after a large funeral.
• Memorial Ceremonies: There are slight differences between memorials and funerals. Both types of events include activities to honor the deceased. When a memorial service is planned, it means that you are holding the event without the presence of the body. For example, a memorial might happen after a cremation or a few weeks or months after burial.
• Domestic & International Transfer Shipping: Special care is needed if you must transport the deceased to another location for burial. We have experience with local transfers, state-to-state transfers, and international transfers. Talk to us about the destination, and we will assist in safe, timely transportation.
• Bereavement Support: In addition to the disposition of the body and coordinating an event, we also recognize the importance of helping families navigate grief. You have ongoing access to bereavement support, even after the funeral services are over.
• Local & Statewide Newspaper Obituary Submission: Share the memories of your loved one with the world through a published obituary. Our funeral planning staff can help with the administrative details for obituary submission and publication.

• What type of funeral do veterans get?
• All qualifying veterans, their spouses, and dependents are given burial in a VA national cemetery, which includes a gravesite, grave-liner, opening and shutting of the grave, monument or marker, and permanent maintenance as a national shrine. Veterans are also given a burial flag as well as military funeral rites.
• What is the role of funeral home when someone dies?
• Many funeral homes ask a member of the family to identify the deceased if he or she is to be cremated without a public viewing. Once the death certificate and any other necessary authorizations are completed, the dead are transported to a crematory in a selected container by the funeral home.

• How much is a burial casket?
• A coffin is sometimes the most costly item purchased for a conventional funeral. Caskets vary greatly in terms of style, substance, design, and cost. The average casket costs between $2,000 to $5,000 and are generally made of metal or a less expensive wood, however, some caskets can sell for $10,000 or more.
