What should I do if a loved one passes away at home?

If your loved one passes away at home, the first step is to contact emergency services or the appropriate authorities. Once the authorities have been notified, you can contact our funeral home. We will assist with transporting the deceased and guide you through the next steps.

What are the different options for cremation?

We offer several cremation options, including direct cremation (without a service), cremation with a memorial service, or traditional funeral services followed by cremation. You can choose to keep the ashes, scatter them, or place them in a memorial garden or columbarium.

How can I personalize a funeral service?

We offer many ways to personalize a funeral, such as incorporating favorite music, displaying photos and personal items, creating custom printed materials, or including special rituals and cultural traditions. Our team will work with you to ensure the service truly reflects your loved one’s life.

What is embalming, and is it required?

Embalming is a process used to preserve the body for viewing and funeral services. It is not always required, but it may be necessary for certain types of services, especially if there is an extended delay between the time of death and the viewing or funeral.

Can I pre-plan my funeral and make payments in advance?

Yes, we offer pre-planning services to help you arrange and pay for your funeral in advance. Pre-planning allows you to specify your preferences, lock in today's prices, and ease the financial burden on your family when the time comes.

What if I want a non-religious or secular service?

We accommodate all beliefs and traditions, including non-religious or secular services. Our team will work with you to create a meaningful ceremony that respects your wishes and celebrates the life of your loved one in a way that feels right for your family.

Do you offer grief support services?

Yes, we provide resources for grief support, including counseling referrals, support groups, and literature. We understand that the grieving process is different for everyone, and we’re here to help you find the support you need.

How do I obtain a death certificate?

We will help you obtain the necessary death certificates as part of our services. You’ll need these documents for legal and financial matters, and we can guide you on how many copies may be needed and for which purposes.
