Saying Goodbye
It’s never easy, but saying goodbye is a natural and healthy part of the grieving process.
At our funeral home this can take place in a number of ways. From a more traditional ceremony joined by family and friends, to a private, meaningful service with your immediate family.
Regardless of how you want to say goodbye, our professional staff is ready to serve.
Sharing the Story
A caring parent, a lifelong friend – every life tells a story.
Our team will help you share that story in a unique and appropriate way. We believe in celebrating the life of the individual by recognizing how they touched the lives of others. This is the story that we all have to share.
Cremation Choices
Choosing cremation offers several choices for service and memorialization. The following considerations will help you determine the type of event that would be most meaningful to you, your family, and friends.
Do you prefer to offer friends and extended family the opportunity to say goodbye and offer their love and support with a public viewing or memorial service?
Do you prefer to conduct ceremonial services at a church or place of worship?
If family and friends are coming from a great distance, do you prefer to arrange for a memorial service following the cremation?
Whatever your preference, our staff will work one-on-one with you to create an appropriate tribute. To help simplify the planning and arrangement process, the offerings described on the following pages represent the most popular choices of our client families who elect cremation. Each of these packages offers our Signature Service Commitment.
Choosing a Final Resting Place
The journey does not end here. Following the service and the cremation process, there are several options for choosing a peaceful, final resting place, including:
Niche - Designated place in the Good Shepard Niche Wall or mausoleum
Burial – Traditional placement in a cemetery
Scattering – Spread in a special location
Home - Keeping in your private residence
