As with Cemetery Services, many families choose to have services all in one day. services are held in your Church. When requested and permitted by the Church, viewing is provided prior to the begining of services. When followed by Burial, we proceed to the Cemetery for Burial Services. When a Church service is followed by Cremation, the service concludes at Church. The Cremation process requires 2 days. A place of final disposition must be selected: placed in a cemetery, scattered at sea or returned to resident. This service requires a casket for either burial or cremation. Our affordable caskets begin at $585. Cemetery or Crematory fees are not included.

With Your Permission we transfer your loved one to our care.
