Service That Exceeds Expectation

Telling the Story of a Life

People may not realize that many of the attendees at a funeral do not know the deceased very well. Some, such as co-workers or social friends of the family, may not have known the person who has died at all.

It is important to create a funeral service that recalls the accomplishments of a life, and leaves family and friends with cherished memories of the person. We are very proud of our ability to help families plan a service that honors the life that has been lived, recalls it, and leaves even more fond memories in the hearts of all who attend.

We offer many distinctive ways to personalize a funeral, from caskets adorned with military or religious symbols to video presentations that include scenes from a life well lived. Some of our special services include:

• Family Music Selection – We can arrange for live music including string quartets, harpists, and bagpipers. We maintain an extensive library of recorded music, as well.
  
  
• Video Tribute – We are able to create a special video in honor of your loved one consisting of photographs and scenery accompanied by music. This type of tribute is often played during the visitation or funeral service and is a cherished keepsake for friends and family. Click here to see a sample video tribute.
  
  
• Tributes – The release of doves or balloons at a gravesite creates a beautiful memory, and helps to say a final goodbye. A candle light service provides a moving tribute.
  
  
• Casket Personalization – There are many options available for personalized head panels and casket corners.
  
  
• Keepsake Items – Items such as Memory Palls, Customized Granite Portraits, and “Share the Bear” tributes provide friends and family with special mementos of a loved one.
  
  
• Memory Tables and Memory Boards – Often, a display of cherished items helps to tell the story of a life. These may include articles such as favorite possessions, hobby displays, awards and trophies.
  
  
• Personalized Cards and Programs – We often create prayer cards or special programs for the memorial service. Using your photographs, we design and print mementos that reflect the life of your loved one. We offer many designs, or can help you create your own.
  
  
• Fresh Baked Cookies – After the visitation, we provide freshly baked cookies for the family. We believe that the extra touches help when coping with a loss.
