Or, you might decide that cremation is the ideal choice because you don’t want to be limited to a cemetery burial. With cremation, you’ll receive the ashes. Then, you can select your preferred method for where these ashes will go. For example, scattering the ashes can be part of a small ceremony or gathering. Another option is to invest in customized memorial jewelry, or a personalized urn kept in the home as a memorial.

Another category to consider for funeral planning is how and when you want to gather with friends and family. This event can be a casual gathering in the backyard. Or, you might want a big, traditional funeral. Some families choose to skip the funeral or memorial for several reasons.

There are many personalization options for this gathering. Remember that the purpose of holding a memorial or funeral is to honor the memories of the deceased and provide a place where friends and family can gather.

One option is to hold the service at our funeral home or a local church. There is often a viewing or visitation at a formal event, followed by a traditional event held in a chapel. This program can include speakers, stories, music, and more.

Another possibility is to hold a graveside service. This outdoor gathering can be as formal or casual as you desire. Sometimes, the graveside is the only service. Other times, it is paired with the funeral.

Finally, consider a memorial, which happens after a person is buried or cremated. Memorials don’t have to happen immediately. For example, you might choose to wait a few weeks or months to give family members time to travel to the location. A memorial can be like a traditional funeral. Or, you might schedule an informal gathering at an outdoor location or any other venue of your choice.

There are undeniable benefits from funeral preplanning. Our team is here to help with your preparations for immediate services or events in the future.
