Many families still find comfort in a traditional service. This option allows for a viewing, visitation, or funeral service before cremation takes place.
It offers the familiarity of a traditional goodbye, while giving you the flexibility of cremation afterward. Following the service, your loved one’s remains can be:
Kept in an urn
Scattered in a meaningful place
Placed in a columbarium


A memorial service can be held after cremation, giving your family time to plan something meaningful and personal.
These services can take place in:
Our chapel
A church
Or another location that feels right to your family
Together, we can incorporate music, stories, and personal touches that reflect your loved one’s life.
If desired, a trained celebrant can lead the service in a thoughtful and supportive way.
A graveside service offers a more intimate setting
for final goodbyes.
It may take place:
Following a funeral service
Or as a smaller, private gathering
This option provides a quiet moment for reflection with those closest to you.

Every family is different, and there is no “right” way to say goodbye. We are here to listen, guide, and support you in creating a service that feels right for you and your loved one.

Being a funeral director is more than just a career to me. I am able to take care of families during, possibly, the most difficult time of their lives. The connection with the families of the community is what drew me to this work. My payoffs come daily when I run into these families again and we greet with hugs and memories.
The past three years have been a rewarding experience for Camille and I. We have gained a greater appreciation for our marriage, our children, and the relationships we share with others. I am grateful to be back in my hometown and serve the community that I know and love. I truly love what I do.
