A memorial service is held without the body present and may take place days or weeks after a death. This option allows more flexibility for travel and planning. The funeral home can assist with planning the program, speakers, printed materials, and gathering of family and friends.

Cremation arrangements

Cremation can be arranged with or without a formal service. The funeral home can explain the steps, timing, and the choices for a memorial or gathering afterward. They can also help with selecting an urn and discussing final placement, including burial or scattering plans.

Visitation and viewing

Planning ahead helps your family know your wishes and reduces pressure during a difficult time. Pre-arrangements can cover service preferences, burial or cremation choices, and key contacts. The funeral home can guide you through what to decide now and what can be left open.
