Some families prefer to have a service held at the grave site location with clergy, family, and friends. Public or private invitation is available.

Although many families choose to hold their funeral service in our comfortable and spacious funeral home, we can also help facilitate services in alternative locations such as a service in a church, or out door venues such as a beach, mountaintop, or backyard. Whether near or far, our funeral directors will help you explore and plan a service location that best suits your loved one’s Life Celebration.

Many cremation options exists. Some families prefer traditional visiting hours at the funeral home, followed by a church or funeral home service prior to cremation, while others opt for a memorial reception at the funeral home after cremation with public or private invitation. Families may also choose immediate cremation followed by a memorial or graveside service at a date convenient for them.

We will accommodate your needs to ensure your loved one’s funeral service is in accordance to your every wish. It is important to utilize the funeral director, his staff, and facilities to personalize the funeral/memorial service as you requested. We encourage you to listen to our suggestions as we will listen to yours. By working together, we will ensure your loved one’s life is celebrated to your satisfaction.
