Traditional Burial Funeral Services
Families may choose to have a public visitation period followed by services and interment. Or they may opt for a more private and quaint gathering of the family along with a personalized burial of your loved one. In any regard, there are no restrictions as to what can be arranged; the typical requirements of embalming, vault, etc., can be eliminated, allowing for a more natural burial: simple yet meaningful.
Full Service Burial
A visitation and viewing period of your loved one to create a quiet, informal moment for friends and family members to pay their respects individually, followed by a ceremony in which loved ones, together in a formal setting, share comfort in music, readings, and memories.
