Funeral Home Information and Online Obituaries
While our funeral home proudly offers a full selection of traditional burial and service options, many people are choosing cremation for their final disposition for various reasons. Whether it is economic, religious, environments considerations or simply personal choice, people need to know their options are not limited to simply direct cremation. There are several other cremation types available. Many families hold services as these aid in the bereavement process in the loss of a loved one. By choosing cremation you can personalize the services around the character and lifestyle of the individual.
There is a great misconception when it comes to cremation; it is that there is no need for a service. Studies show that some type of farewell service or gathering with friends and family help the bereaved overcome grief more quickly. It also gives us the chance as survivors to honor the life of our loved one who has gone on before us. It is a common thought that you must do a service within a few days of the time of passing. You may choose to wait to do a private or public gathering for a week or two. Or you may consider having a traditional open casket public visitation and funeral service before the cremation takes place. In either case, you can design the service to best celebrate your loved one's life. Ceremonies can be from a traditional religious setting to contemporary ideas such as beach side remembrances. Our customized memorial packages are tailored to your loved ones interests and hobbies to make for a one of a kind service.Having a minister or speaker and special music to reflect the loved one's life helps aid the process.
