Services
Traditional Funeral
Our traditional funerals include embalming, visitation, and formal ceremonies with clergy-led services. Families may choose between funeral home or church locations, with optional cemetery prayers. We provide casket selection, floral arrangements, and obituary assistance while guiding families through every logistical detail.
Immediate Disposition
This cost-effective option skips visitation for immediate burial or cremation. We handle all legal paperwork and transportation, allowing families to hold memorial services at their convenience. Direct cremation includes return of remains in a temporary urn for private scattering or interment.
Cremation After Viewing
Combining visitation with cremation avoids vault costs. Families use rental caskets for viewings, followed by cremation. We assist with memorial service planning and provide options for preserving ashes through keepsake urns or scattering ceremonies.
Pre-Planning Services
We help individuals document preferences to reduce family stress. Pre-planning locks in current pricing and ensures personal wishes are honored. Our counselors guide clients through service selections, legal documentation, and payment arrangements.
Veterans Memorials
We coordinate full military honors, including flag presentation and headstone procurement through the VA. Specialized services include burial at national cemeteries and assistance with Social Security benefits for surviving family members.
