Funeral

Ever since the beginning of civilization, the custom of caring for the deceased, honoring a life passed, and supporting those who mourn has been at the core of our humanity. From the beginning of time, funeral service rituals were truly for the living giving those left behind an opportunity to grieve, accept the loss, and find closure. Even today, it is an important part of the healing process.

Deciding how you would like to remember and honor your loved one is really a personal choice. With so many options available, you can customize a fitting tribute that reflects the life and passions of your loved one. Today, funeral and memorial services can be as varied as the individual they represent. That’s why we take time with each family we serve to get to know their loved one so that we can help them plan a fitting tribute to someone special in their life.

No matter how you choose to remember, you have many options when planning a service, including:

  • Type of Service
  • Visitation
  • Memorial Service
  • Graveside Service
  • Chapel Service
  • Church Service
  • Committal Service
  • Special Gatherings

Cremation

Cremation is chosen by many families and individuals as an alternative to traditional burial. The reasons for selecting cremation may be based on personal, religious or societal beliefs. It is important to remember that cremation is simply one part of the final memorialization process. Whether choosing cremation or another means of preparing the body for final disposition, there is still need for a meaningful gathering to commemorate or celebrate the special life of a loved one and to assist survivors in the grieving and healing process. This tribute can take place before or after cremation and may be as personalized as you choose.

 

"Miss Me But Let Me Go"

When I've Come to the End of the Road
And the Sun has Set for me
I want no rites in a Gloom filled Room
Why cry for a Soul set Free?

Miss Me little, but not for Me long
And not with your Heads bowed low
Remember the Love that We once Shared
Miss Me but Let Me go!

For this is a Journey We all Must take
And each must Go Alone
It's All a Part of the Masters Plan
Just a step on the Road to Home!

When You are Lonely and Sick at Heart
Go to the Friends you know
And Bury Your Sorrow by doing Good Deeds
Just Miss Me but Let Me Go!
