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. More families today are choosing cremation and holding a memorial service afterwards. Family members and friends still come together to pay their respects and find emotional support, but they are doing so in less formal ways.

Today, another funeral service option, the celebration-of-life service, has become popular because there are virtually no limits on how, where, and when the life of a loved one can be celebrated. 

Naturally, the arrangements you make will be influenced by the lifestyle of your deceased family member, the time of year, budget, and the expected number of people in attendance. 

But you don't have to think about it all yourself. We're here to help. It's our calling and our service to help families commemorate the life of their loved one.
