​
Funeral Service
Whether you choose burial or cremation, a funeral is a ceremony for the deceased. A funeral service is an important opportunity to honor and remember a life lived, but it is also a vital first step in helping the bereaved heal after the loss of someone special. The service structure can range from contemporary to traditional. Religious and non-religious preferences often influence specific selections, but you can generally expect readings, speeches, and music. 

Memorial Services
A memorial service, like a funeral service, is a special opportunity to gather to remember and honor a loved one. It can be held shortly after a death or at a later time. The difference is that the deceased’s body is not present at a memorial service, but a photo or an urn might be. 

Personalization
Whether you choose a funeral or memorial service, we believe in the value of creating a highly meaningful, personalized tribute. We are here to help you plan a service that is as unique as your loved one. Here are just a few of the ways you can personalize a funeral or memorial service:

• Hold the service at a non-typical venue, such as a park, aquarium, or farmstead
• Display memorabilia that had great meaning to your loved one
• Have the procession led by something fitting for your loved one, such as a motorcycle or fire truck
• Choose music your loved one enjoyed 
• Serve your loved one’s favorite food or treats 
  
  

Reception
Following a funeral or memorial service, it is common for guests to gather and share a meal. A reception is an important opportunity for friends and family to come together more informally to cry, to laugh, and to begin healing. 

Our funeral home would be happy to help you arrange this.
