Funeral Services
A funeral service, whether traditional or more modern (memorial service or celebration-of-life), has two functions: to acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual and to bring grieving family members and friends together in support of one another during this difficult time.
Cremation Services
One of the most important parts of the funeral planning or funeral pre-arrangement process is choosing what will happen with the body. Many families have been choosing cremation services as their preferred final method of disposition.
Memorial Services
Unlike a traditional funeral, memorial services are a gathering where a casket is not present (although the urn with the cremated remains may be on display). A memorial service can be held weeks or even months after the death.
A memorial service can be held in a church, the funeral home or a community hall, or somewhere of importance to the deceased and family. There is usually music, selected readings, and a eulogy. Memorial services can be further personalized as a celebration-of-life.
