Burial

There are several ways to customize a burial.

A traditional burial would include:
–   Calling hours in the evening
–   Ceremony at the church or in the funeral home the following day
–   Graveside ceremony in your cemetery

A simple burial would include:
–   Graveside ceremony in your cemetery

However, you have the choice of what you would like in order to best memorialize your loved one. One idea for a burial service includes a viewing with a graveside ceremony, where you can go in procession from the funeral home to the graveside, use pallbearers, and have committal prayers either lead by a priest or your family.

Another idea is having calling hours, either in the evening or the morning, and then go to the cemetery the next morning or immediately following.

Our focus is to help you and your family customize a service that best memorializes your loved one.
