Helping Families Connect, Honor & Remember
You Can Never Go Back and Do it Over
Funeral Services
Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whether you choose burial or cremation; whether you select a formal funeral or a more relaxed memorial service, the need for acknowledgment of the loss with family and friends is ever present. We can help you create a unique meaningful ceremony to express the genuine individuality of your loved one.
We offer families a beautiful setting in which to come together to honor your loved one. But, you may certainly choose to celebrate their life in a more unique setting. No matter where you decide to gather together, such a service will make a difference in the lives of all who attend.
Burial Services
If burial has been selected, usually any ceremonies we design revolve around the casket being present. You can choose to follow tradition, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in a church or memorial chapel. Or you could decide to have a more relaxed service, even in your family home.
We’re here to listen to your concerns, share our experience, and help you to arrive at the perfect way to gather together before your loved one's interment in the cemetery of your choice.
Cremation
As with traditional burials, a family choosing cremation has many ways to celebrate their loved one’s life. Many families choose services, visitations and gatherings that are identical to those of traditional services. Our staff can explain choices and show examples of how cremation can be personalized to fit your needs.
The choice of cremation or burial for your deceased loved one is a very personal one based on a variety of factors including personal, religious or societal beliefs. In some cases, preferences are known before death, but in others, family members must make this decision.
When making cremation arrangements, keep in mind, you have unlimited options for memorialization. The most important thing is to create a farewell event that is meaningful and satisfying to you and others who will participate. Remember, there is no "standard" cremation arrangement. We have the experience to assist you in developing a customized cremation service that is "just right" for you and your family.
Traditional Services
You are in no way limited to these service options. You may itemize services in order to select only those which are right for you.

A Veteran Funeral Honors Life and Service
Whether you’ve lost a loved one in combat or the service member of your family died during peacetime, honoring your family member with a veteran funeral is a respectful, dignified way of remembering a life and service to our country.
Eligible veterans who opt for burial at any VA National Cemetery are honored by the U.S. Department of Affairs with a free burial space, grave liner, memorial headstone, and U.S. flag, as well as a Presidential Memorial Certificate. Veterans using a local burial location are honored with a complementary marker and U.S. flag.
Direct Burial
The body is buried shortly after death. No viewing, visitation or funeral service is involved, so embalming may not be necessary. Direct burial costs less than the “traditional,” full-service funeral. Costs include the funeral home’s basic services fee, as well as transportation and care of the body, the purchase of a casket, burial container and a cemetery plot or crypt.
