The most important function of a funeral is to celebrate a life. Similar to a graduation ceremony, wedding or baptism, a funeral is a rite of passage by which we recognize a significant event that distinguishes our lives. Funeral services and celebrations encourage a supportive, social environment for friends and family members to gather, share stories and honor the life of a loved one.
Whether you choose burial or cremation, funeral services can take many different forms and are greatly influenced by religious and cultural traditions. Depending on the requests of the family, the particular ceremonies and rituals performed at the service may be very formal and organized or consist of a simple, informal gathering of close friends and family.
The following information has been put together as a guide and can be personalized in many ways to best suit the wishes of the family. Please feel free to click on the options below for service descriptions.
