Graveside Service/Memorial Service
A Visitation permits friends and family to gather, share
memories, and pay last respects as they share in the loss. Photographs,
personal memorabilia and other special items are used to spark memories and
honor to the departed loved one. Services may be held at the funeral home, a
local church, or another location.
Cremation
Cremation is an alternative manner of final disposition. There are a
variety of arrangements involving Cremation, which permit us to provide a truly
personalized service. Traditional Funeral Services may be followed by
Cremation, or Cremation may precede a Memorial Service.
Following are some questions and answers about funeral services:
Is a vault required?
Although not required by law, you may prefer to select a burial vault. Burial
vaults are sealed, lined, and warrantied and are used in cemeteries for
underground interment. Outer burial containers may be required by your cemetery
or memorial park to help preserve the beauty of the property and to reduce
maintenance costs by supporting the weight of the earth and of heavy equipment
that may pass over the grave.
Is embalming required?
Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming
may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as
a funeral with a viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the
right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as
direct cremation or immediate burial.
Can you have a traditional funeral service prior to cremation?
If cremation is preferred, you will still be able to include visitation and a
service in your arrangements. For a cremation service, you may select a casket
or alternative container for the viewing and visitation.
Can you have a service after cremation?
In many cases, families have a memorial service at the funeral home, or at
another location such as a local church, after the cremation. We encourage you
to bring photos, and other memorabilia to personalize the service and honor to
your departed loved one.
Do cremains have to be buried?
No. Many people prefer to bury the urn. While not required by law, many
cemeteries or memorial parks do require the use of an urn vault.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body, slows the decomposition
process, and enhances the appearance of the deceased. Embalming is the
temporary preservation of the remains.
What should I do when death occurs?
When death occurs, contact the funeral director. It doesn't matter
what time it is, or whether it's a weekday or a weekend. We are available to
you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Will someone come right away?
Yes, we will come as soon as proper procedures with doctors, hospital, nursing
home, or other authorities are complete. We will work closely with you to guide
you through the process.
If a loved one dies out-of-state, can a local funeral home help?
Yes. We can assist you with out-of-state transportations arrangements
to transport the deceased back home, here or elsewhere.
