Bringing family and friends together at the time of loss is common; most of us long for the comfort of companionship during life's most difficult moments. Creating a ceremony gives shape, sound and color to our feelings and it satisfies our natural desire to honor those we loved. A ceremony, uniquely crafted to celebrate the life our your loved one, is a first and significant step in healing for your family and friends. It is a gift to everyone who participates. There are many ways to honor one's life. Your choices are limited only by your imagination. There are many decisions and thoughts to reflect upon - the first has to do with the ceremony itself, and the second is whether you choose burial or cremation.

How do you celebrate and honor a life? Your ceremony can be as distinct as the life of your loved one - totally unique or very simple. Or it may be important to you to follow time-honored family or religious traditions that link the life of your loved one to a larger view of life and the world.

That's where we come in. Our expertise and our suggestions can help you create memorable experience by taking the time to get to you know you and your loved one's story. We will assist you in creating a service that will help you to find some peace of mind and appropriately honor your loved one. We can arrange for the ceremony to take place at our facility, or any other location, assist you with the order of the service, clergy or officiant, music and floral selections, obituaries, poems and/or prayers, butterfly or dove release or a veteran honor guard. The possibilities are endless.

We're here to help you come to the decisions that will be meet your needs not only now, but in the future. These decisions can have an impact on your family and friends for a long time. So doing the right things when planning the ceremony can make all the difference in the years to come.

There is no "right or wrong" way to honor your loved one when burial has been selected. Whether you choose a traditional or private burial after the funeral service or have the burial precede a memorial service, we are here to listen to your concerns, share with you our experiences and help you navigate your choices and arrive at the perfect choice for you.

A traditional funeral service denotes the physical presence of the body at the service, whether you choose burial or cremation following the service. A funeral service may be held in our funeral chapel, at your church or at another venue of your choice. A funeral service typically has a Clergy or Officiate to precide and may also include special music, readings, poems, eulogies and/or prayers. The funeral service can either conclude with burial in a cemetery of your choice or at the location of the funeral service if you elect to have the body cremated.

A memorial service is much like a funeral service, only that the body is not present. You may choose to have an urn with the deceased cremated remains present, or simply have a few photo collages commemorating their life. It may also conclude like a funeral service with burial at a cemetery of your choice or with the urn remaining in your personal possession.

A graveside service is a ceremony held at a cemetery of your choice, attended by family and friends. Most graveside services take place just after the funeral or memorial service. However, you may also request private graveside services prior to a memorial service at our funeral home or a church of your choice.

Our website offers families the ability to have a permanent online memorial to their loved one. Here they can share photos and service information, share this information via social media and allow family and friends to send flowers and leave online condolences.

Our chapel is equipped with multi-media equipment for those who wish to provide their own DVD. For those who choose, we can handle this service for you as well, with a professionally designed slideshow set to music showcasing the life of your loved one. This service is offered as a gift to those families we serve.

With photos selected by the family, we will create a one of a kind memory folder comprised of the obituary and a collage of photos highlighting your loved ones life for distribution at the visitation or funeral ceremony. This service is offered as a complimentary gift from our family to yours.

Ordering Directly from our online flower store will save time and money and ensure that your floral tributes will arrive in time for the ceremony.
