Our knowledgeable staff has the experience and insight that could make planning end-of-life arrangements just a little easier for you and those you love. If you have questions about preparing for services, we're here to support you in any way we can.
Planning a funeral is really a process of asking and answering questions. Sit down with other family members to review your loved one's wishes and explore the ideas which arise from answering some of the following questions:
The arrangements you make will be influenced by the lifestyle of your loved one, the time of year, your budget, and the number of people in attendance. But you don't have to think about it all on your own. We're here to help. We've had years of experience helping other families make service arrangements, so never hesitate to contact us. We would be privileged to serve you and your family.
While we can't speak to every situation, we can tell you the bare basics of what to expect on your first visit to our funeral home. When you come through the front door, you will be greeted warmly by a staff member. Names will be exchanged, and some words of comfort will be offered.
Once informed of the reason for your visit, you will be directed to the funeral director's office or arrangement office and given a copy of any appropriate price-related documents. The funeral director will then ask you a number of questions related to the biographical details of the deceased for relevant paperwork and any plans you will want to make for the funeral arrangements.
When it comes to properly completing death paperwork and writing a detailed obituary, accuracy is everything. You'll want to bring as much documentation as possible. Naturally, if you're unable to bring any of this information, you can always contact us later to share whatever is missing.
Your loved one's details may include:
The second step in the funeral arrangement conference, that of planning a meaningful ceremony to pay tribute and celebrate the life of your loved one is really at the heart of what you'll be doing that day. In order to facilitate things, we ask that you bring:
Our time together will take only as long as you need it to take. Not only that, while the time you spend with us in your first visit can be very intense and emotionally-draining, you'll be among people who really care about your welfare. We'll support you throughout the funeral arrangement process, but if you still have any questions or concerns afterwards, you can always contact us at any time to learn more.
