Funeral Planning

Naturally, people turn to us every day to assist them in planning a funeral. Sometimes it’s because a loved one has recently died, and their need is immediate. Other times, they turn to us because they wish to talk to us about funeral pre-planning. If you're looking to make funeral arrangements ahead of time for either yourself, or for someone you love, consult our plan ahead section.

In this section, we have put together the basics for those of you faced with an immediate need of our services. This includes information on what is involved in planning a funeral, what to expect when you meet with a Funeral Director, and how to select the right funeral products. There is also information on what you can expect after the funeral or memorial service.

However, if you need more in-depth information on funeral planning, and wish to speak to someone directly, we invite you to contact us.

What to Expect
The death of someone you love can leave you feeling confused, alone, and unsure where to turn for guidance. This area of our website will guide you in the right direction.
Immediate Need
This section of our website should be very helpful for families who have recently lost a loved one and are looking for information on what must be done in the near future.
Plan Ahead
No one wants to plan for our inevitable end. It’s certainly not as much fun as planning a vacation, but it’s far more important. This section provides valuable insights and planning tools.
Need Assistance?
Everyone needs help from time to time. Should you need to connect with us, here’s how you can get in touch with one of our funeral professionals, day or night.
