Planning a Funeral
The funeral is an important step toward healing, not only for yourself, but for everyone who is affected by the loss of your loved one. There are a number of things to consider when putting someone’s final arrangements in place.
Which type of service will help you and your loved ones heal?
Having friends and family around you at a difficult time is the first step in the healing process. Whether you prefer a traditional funeral with a viewing or a contemporary service, we want to help you make the right decisions for you and your family and friends of your loved one.
Too often, people choose a fast service with little time for remembering a life lived. Having a funeral service with time to say goodbye and proper measures in place to ensure that your loved one is remembered now and in the future is important, not only for your healing, but for others as well.
​Working Together
We know funerals and you know your loved one. Let’s work together to create a funeral service that will pay a fitting tribute.
We will leave the details up to you. You can choose where, when and how to hold the service. You can choose the music you want played, the prayers that will be recited and the special services and personal touches that will help you honor a life well-lived. You make the decisions and leave the rest to us.
The Funeral Service
If you would like to share this moment with your broad network of family and friends, we will help you by placing public obituary notices in local or out of town news media and also online through our website, to bring the community together to celebrate your loved one’s life.
You can choose to hold a funeral service in our funeral home or at another location such as your loved one's church or other facility.
Burial Services
If you have chosen to have your loved one buried, you may want the casket present at the service. Many people choose to hold a viewing prior to the service. Whichever option you choose, we will work with you to ensure that you have every opportunity to bring family and friends together to say a final goodbye before the burial.

If you choose cremation, we strongly recommend that you hold a memorial service to help you and your loved ones in the healing process. Please contact us to learn about all of the options available to you. For more information on our Cremation Services,

What’s next?
While it is important to think about the details of the service and how you will keep your loved one’s memory alive, it is just as important to involve others in the decision. We encourage you to bring family and friends together to discuss their needs and desires.
If you need further assistance or advice, please contact us and we will guide you in the right direction.
