Before Planning a Funeral Please Consider

Who’s life am I celebrating?
What was that person like?
How did they live their life?
Were they outgoing, with lots of friends?
Were they involved in the community?
What did that person express as his or her wishes concerning celebrating their life?
Did they express a preference to burial or cremation?
Were they Military at any point in life?
Do they belong to a Church or Fraternal organization?

The answers to these questions will help you choose the right burial or cremation service.

Burial Services

Traditional - This service features a visitation, with or without viewing. On the same or the next day, a funeral service is held (at the funeral home or church) followed by a procession to the cemetery.
Graveside - In this, the service is held by the graveside and the casket is lowered to the ground during the service or after the guests leave.
Direct - The body, that is brought from the funeral home will be directly buried without any visitation or ceremony. The vault company then closes the grave.

Cremation Services

Traditional - This is similar to the traditional burial. After the services held at the church or funeral home, the body is sent to be cremated at the funeral home. After the cremation, the family comes to collect the urn.
Memorial - There is no viewing involved in this type of cremation. The family members gather to cherish the memories of the deceased at any location, as long as proper permits and authorization is obtained.
Direct - No ceremony will be held. The family collects the urn from the funeral home. If the deceased is a veteran, the family collects the death certificate and a flag.
