Funeral Ceremonies and Memorial Services
Chapel Services
Our chapel on the property is a lovely, private place for memorial services and funerals. There are comfortable seats in the chapel, and the acoustics are great for music and speeches. The atmosphere is calm, which is good for thinking and remembering. Families can hold both visitation and funeral services in this convenient location, which makes things less stressful and easier to plan during an already hard time. Our chapel can host both religious and non-religious ceremonies, and it will treat every funeral service with the respect and dignity it deserves.
Celebration of Life Services
We specialize in making celebration of life services that focus on honoring your loved one's unique personality, accomplishments, and impact on others for families who want something less traditional. These services often include personal touches like your loved one's favorite music, meaningful readings, memories shared by family and friends, and displays of things that showed what they were interested in and passionate about. Our licensed celebrants can lead these personalized services, making ceremonies that are true to your family's wishes and your loved one's memory.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can funeral services be arranged?
We usually suggest giving yourself 3 to 7 days to plan a funeral so that everything can be done properly, including getting the paperwork in order and coordinating with family. We do, however, understand that some situations call for quicker arrangements. We work hard to meet urgent needs while still making sure that all services uphold our high standards of care and respect.
Can funeral services be held if we choose cremation or burial?
Funeral services and whether to bury or cremate the body are two different choices. Many families decide to have a full traditional funeral service, which includes a viewing and a ceremony. After that, they can choose to have the body cremated or buried, depending on what they want.
Do you work with all religious denominations and cultural traditions?
Yes, we serve families of all faiths and cultures with respect. Our staff has a lot of experience with different religious and cultural funeral customs. When we come across a custom we're not familiar with, we take the time to learn about it and make sure we meet your needs in the best way possible.
What happens if we need to hold services during severe weather?
We have plans in place in case of bad weather, and we work with families to make sure that services can continue safely. This could mean changing the schedule, making transportation plans, or changing the service plans to put everyone's safety first while still showing respect for your loved one.
