Arrangements that fit your family
Funeral and burial choices
A visitation and funeral service
A visitation gives family and friends time to gather before the funeral. A service may take place at our chapel or another location, followed by burial or cremation. We can help you coordinate the arrangements and explain the available options.
A graveside service
A graveside service takes place at the cemetery. It may follow a gathering at the chapel, or family and friends may meet at the cemetery for the service. We can help you plan the details and coordinate the timing.
Immediate burial
Immediate burial is an option without a viewing or ceremony included in the arrangement. Your family may choose to arrange a separate memorial gathering. We can explain the available burial arrangements and their costs.
A funeral followed by cremation
Choosing cremation can include a viewing or funeral beforehand. We can help you arrange the gathering and then coordinate the cremation after the services have concluded. Explore our cremation services or read our answers to common questions about cremation.
A life remembered
Making the service personal
Music, readings, photographs, and flowers can help reflect the person being remembered. Tell us about your loved one and any religious, cultural, or family traditions you would like to include. We can discuss the possibilities with you and help plan the details.
Coordinating with the cemetery
Your family chooses the cemetery and arranges the burial or mausoleum space directly with its staff. We work with the cemetery to coordinate the day and time of the burial.
Clear information
Understanding funeral costs
