Funeral Home offers all types of funeral and cremation
services. Whatever type of service you choose, our staff will
coordinate every detail for you giving you more time to concentrate
on the needs of your loved ones..
Traditional Funeral Services
A traditional funeral service is when
your loved one is present. Generally visitation is held
the day or night before the funeral. The funeral service
itself is held the following day in either our funeral home,
church or special place chosen by the family. Funerals often
consist of scripture readings, prayers, a eulogy, sometimes
a sermon and music. After the funeral, there is a procession
to the cemetery for a committal service. The graveside service
may be followed by a reception. To view suggestions on where
to have a reception please visit

Memorial Services
A Memorial Service is held when the deceased is not present. It may take place at our funeral home, a church or another place chosen by the family. This is a time to remember a loved one through fellowship with friends and family. The memorial service can also be an addition to a traditional funeral service. For instance, having a traditional funeral service here, and then a memorial service back in the deceased hometown.
Cremation Services
Cremation is often a more suitable option
for many families. It can be accompanied by the rites and
ceremonies of traditional funerals or memorial services,
or as personal and unique as the family itself.
