Funeral Services
We will assist you and/or your family in planning a funeral, memorial, graveside, visitation, forwarding and receiving remains to and from another funeral home, as well as a multitude of options that suit your families needs and your loved ones wishes. We are able to assist you in holding services in a wide variety of areas. From our chapel, to your church or at the cemetery we are able to prepare a meaningful service to honor your loved one. We will listen to your family and help to arrange a celebration of your loved one's life through whatever means you choose. The following is a list of additional services provided by our staff.

Pre-Planning
Pre-Planning your services is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for your family. It allows you to make decisions in a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. You have the opportunity to be better informed and thus make better decisions.
Pre-Planning also allows financial forethought, easing the burden on your family. The plan we endorse offers an easy way to put money aside for final expenses. Those funds are also exempt from Medicaid limits while enjoying favorable tax growth.
How much does a funeral cost? What are the cemetery costs? Should the service be public or private? Where will the service be held? Would I prefer traditional earth burial or cremation? We can help guide you through your questions, and give you peace of mind that all is taken care of.

Online Memorials
We can set up an online memorial for your loved one. Our online memorials provide information for guests about the funeral services and also provide a tribute to your loved one. Guests will be able to gain information about dates, times and locations of funeral services. Guests will also be able to order flowers, make donations and sign a guest book through the memorial. The family will have access to the memorial to add photos to create a photo gallery for their loved one. By providing information to guests about services, our online memorials help lessen the load on a family during a difficult time. The memorials also serve to pay tribute to your family's loved one.
