Funeral Service Trends
The needs and expectations of our families are changing and we've responded with funeral service options tailored to these new expectations.
Two generations ago, traditional funerals (visitation, funeral service and service at the cemetery) were common. It was what everyone expected.
But, as the demand for cremation services increased, there has been a shift in the types of services available. Many more families are choosing cremation and holding a memorial service afterwards. Family members and friends still came together to pay their respects to the deceased and find emotional support but they did so in less formal ways.
Today, another funeral service option, the celebration of life service, has become quite popular because there are no limits to the how, where, and when the life of a loved one can be celebrated.
Thinking About Your Funeral Service Options
The arrangements you make will be influenced by the lifestyle of your deceased family member: the time of year, your budget, and the number of people in attendance. But you don't have to think about it all on your own; we're here to help. That's what we do—it's our passion to help families celebrate the life of their loved one. Just reach out to us and let us know what you'd like, and we'll tell you how we can assist you.
