How to Plan a Funeral

Planning a funeral or end-of-life celebration for a loved one is not something one wants to think too much about. In fact, it's something one may never think about until faced with the reality of having to plan it. 

Things to Think About When Planning a Funeral

  • Who do you want to attend? 
  • Where will it be held? 
  • When do you want it to take place? 
  • Do you want anyone to speak? 
  • Will there be food & refreshments? 
  • Do you want specific music or memorial pictures shown?
  • Do you, and if so, how do you want to personalize the event?

Planning a Celebration-of-Life Service

When planning the details of a celebration-of-life, you will find yourself circling back to the same question: "What would my loved one want?". Everything from choosing a location, people in attendance, food & beverages, and speakers should represent who they were. Telling stories and sharing in the memories of your loved one is what planning a celebration-of-life is all about.

Planning a Veteran Service

Planning a funeral for a veteran can range from cremation, burial, traditional graveside or church. Being able to incorporate the honor guard with the service can show much pride.
 
The funeral directors can assist in notifying the correct honor guard for the service and help facilitate the documentation that will be needed.

Planning a Cremation Service

When planning for a cremation, it is important to remember you will still have options. Review the cremation information found on our website. 

Speaking with a funeral professional will help with any questions you may have about the options that are available to you.
