Graveside Service/Memorial Service 
A Visitation permits friends and family to gather, share memories, and pay last respects as they share in the loss. Photographs, personal memorabilia and other special items are used to spark memories and honor to the departed loved one. Services may be held at the funeral home, a local church, or another location.

Following are some questions and answers about funeral services:

Is a vault required?
Although not required by law, you may prefer to select a burial vault. Burial vaults are sealed, lined, and warrantied and are used in cemeteries for underground interment. Outer burial containers may be required by your cemetery or memorial park to help preserve the beauty of the property and to reduce maintenance costs by supporting the weight of the earth and of heavy equipment that may pass over the grave.

Is embalming required?
Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with a viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.

Can you have a traditional funeral service prior to cremation?
If cremation is preferred, you will still be able to include visitation and a service in your arrangements. For a cremation service, you may select a casket or alternative container for the viewing and visitation.

Can you have a service after cremation?
In many cases, families have a memorial service at the funeral home, or at another location such as a local church, after the cremation. We encourage you to bring photos, and other memorabilia to personalize the service and honor to your departed loved one.

Do cremains have to be buried?
No. Many people prefer to bury the urn. While not required by law, many cemeteries or memorial parks do require the use of an urn vault.

What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body, slows the decomposition process, and enhances the appearance of the deceased. Embalming is the temporary preservation of the remains.

What should I do when death occurs?
When death occurs, contact the funeral director. It doesn't matter what time it is, or whether it's a weekday or a weekend. We are available to you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Will someone come right away?
Yes, we will come as soon as proper procedures with doctors, hospital, nursing home, or other authorities are complete. We will work closely with you to guide you through the process.

If a loved one dies out-of-state, can a local funeral home help?
Yes. We can assist you with out-of-state transportations arrangements to transport the deceased back home, here or elsewhere.
