Pre-Planning
There are many
advantages to planning a funeral ahead of time. By
pre-planning a funeral, difficult decisions will not
have to be made during a time of grieving and stress.
You will be able to visit a potential resting site and
have time to decide on and compare options. Thought can
be made to whether or not cremation is an option you may
want to choose. Your wishes can be put into writing to
give your family direction when the time for the funeral
comes. Our staff will help you plan so that your family
can carry out your wishes.
For more information on pre-planning please fill out our
online pre-planning form.
Online Memorials
We can set up an online memorial with a
guest book for your loved one. Our online memorials
provide information for guests about the funeral
services, provide a tribute to your loved one, and allow
guests to leave kind remarks that will be posted on the
memorial page. The family can provide photos to create a
photo gallery for their loved one. By providing
information to guests about services, our online
memorials help lessen the load on a family during a
difficult time. The memorials also serve to pay tribute
to your family's loved one.

preparing, an obituary to be published in selected
publications and on our website for your loved one.
