Few people are comfortable talking about death. It's natural that the funeral industry has always been shrouded in mystery. Phillip Funeral Home strives to educate the public in hopes of helping them become more comfortable with an inevitable fact of life.
The
arrangement process is a gathering of information, both statistical and personal
about the deceased. You can expect the arrangement to last about two to
three hours. We always aim to work at the
convenience of the families we serve; therefore, the arrangement can take place
at the families home, the funeral home or at an alternate
location.
During the arrangement, the different types
of services will be discussed. We believe that
exploring all avenues of a funeral, from a
traditional service to direct cremation is
important. In addition, it gives us the
opportunity to explore meaningful options that allow
the families to express their individuality
and add a personal tribute to the life of that
special person.
