Funeral Service Trends

The needs and expectations of our families are changing and we've responded with funeral service options tailored to the new reality.

Two generations ago, traditional funerals (visitation, funeral service and grave-side ceremony at the cemetery) were common. It was what everyone expected and few families deviated from the norm.

However, as the demand for cremation services increased, there has been a shift in the types of services available. More families are choosing cremation and holding a memorial service afterwards. Family members and friends still come together to pay their respects to the deceased and find emotional support in each other, but they do so in increasingly less formal ways.

Today, another funeral service option, the Celebration of Life, has become popular because there are no limits to how, where, and when the life of a loved one can be honored an remembered. 

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 also figure into how the arrangement ought to be carried out. But you don't have to put this together on your own. We're here to help. It's our passion to help families remember the life of their loved one. Just reach out to us and we'll explain how we can assist you.
