There are three primary phases to planning a funeral:

 

Phase One: Gathering information

First, we’ll work with you to gather all the necessary information  for legal documents, notices, death certificates, life insurance and retirement boards. At this time we will also walk you through the available funeral service options. Do you prefer to hold the service at a church or the funeral home? Will there be a viewing or visitation? Do you want burial or cremation after the service?

Phase Two: Customizing the service

Once we have gathered all the information, you can choose the type of service you want. We can help you create a truly meaningful, customized service that reflects the unique life of your loved one. You may choose to include personal music selections, a DVD tribute, casket personalization, catering services and memorial display tables.

Phase Three: Pricing the service

Once you have decided on all the details, we can then price out the service you desire. We’ll always check to see if your loved one has prearrangements on file with us. If so, they may have already paid for the services.

If you have any questions or concerns about the funeral planning process, feel free to call us. Our family is always here for yours.
