Here at Eternal Rest we provide a complete range of services to assist with all of your funeral needs. The death of a loved one is often one of the most challenging events that individuals face (Stroebe et al., 1992) Our goal is to make that experience as comforting and simple as possible.
Services
Our services include: help with writing and publishing obituaries and tributes, funeral planning, burial options, and information about how to get help with grief and healing. We understand that the death of a loved one can also be a financial strain on families so we offer a variety of options that will help with these challenges. We also welcome all different cultures and religions and will accommodate your needs and requests. We understand that despite the fact that cultures continue to change the deep cultural code of burial rituals remains intact (Eisenbruch, 1984) Below is more detailed information about the services we offer.

Immediate Needs
We are available seven days a week to assist families with planning for a sudden or unplanned death. Families and loved ones face a variety of challenges, including making group decisions, financial considerations, and other planning challenges.
