Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?

    A funeral service usually takes place with the body present, while a memorial service is held without the body. Both are meant to honor and celebrate the life of the person who has passed.

  • What is cremation, and can we still have a service?

    Cremation is an alternative to burial where the body is reduced to ashes. Families can still have a traditional funeral, a memorial service, or a celebration of life either before or after the cremation.

  • Do we need to have a viewing or visitation?

    A viewing or visitation is optional. Many families find it comforting to have this time to say goodbye and receive support from friends, but it’s a personal choice.

Send Flowers

Send a thoughtful gesture. Flowers serve as a source of comfort and support for individuals in need of reassurance. Our arrangements are hand-delivered by local florists.
