Cremation Services
For many families, cremation is a dignified and respectful way to remember and honor loved ones that have passed away. Once in our care, your loved one is our highest priority.
Chapel Service
When there is no viewing and funeral service involved, next is the cremation and the ashes will either be scattered, returned to the family or buried in a family cemetery.
Memorial Service
The funeral service can be held in a church or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We work with many area clergy members and lay persons who assist in making every service a meaningful service.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service but it can also be a large or small intimate gathering of those closest to you.
