Traditional Funeral


Traditional Funeral Services

While no two funerals are the same, they typically follow the same structure. If you would like to plan a traditional funeral, we will help to customize every step to be exactly as you’d like.


Preparing the Body

This option is chosen typically for those who have opted for an open casket viewing. The funeral director will embalm your body and prepare it as you wish - meaning you can choose which outfit you’d like to be laid to rest in, how you would like your hair and makeup to look, and which personal mementos to include inside the casket with your body.

Visitation

Also known as a wake, this is when the casket is laid out in the funeral home for friends and family to pay their respects. Visitation is typically done either the night before a funeral service or same day of funeral service. Usually, the visitation service includes pictures of the deceased throughout their life as well as personal objects that were important to them.

Funeral Ceremony

The details of the funeral ceremony differ based on your religion and core beliefs. Depending on your wishes, the funeral ceremony can include readings, hymnals, prayers, and eulogies.

Burial Service

The burial is when your body will be permanently laid to rest. There are two different burial options - above ground in a mausoleum or in-ground with a memorialization. Part of the funeral preplanning services will include you choosing your cemetery plot and designing your marker or picking which mausoleum fits your preferences.
