What does selfless service really mean?

Selfless service is full service.  It means making an extra effort to fulfill your family’s commemorative needs.  It means listening carefully to your concerns and desires, helping you to plan a service that truly honors the life of your loved one.  We are familiar with the funeral traditions of all ethnic groups and faiths, assuring families that all arrangements will be perfectly suitable and appropriate to every religious belief and tradition.

Our services include:

• Traditional funeral services, including visitation at our funeral home or another location
• Traditional funeral service followed by cremation
• Private family gathering
• Graveside service with interment
• Cremation with memorial or graveside service
• Cremation with no funeral service
• Funeral preplanning
• Services after the funeral
• Personalization options such as video tributes, memorial candles, memorialization jewelry, and more.
  

We are deeply committed to helping families create the most personal type of funeral service – one that is a true reflection of the life that has been lived.  We do this by offering a complete selection of personalization options such as memory tables, tribute videos, displays of cherished possessions, personal music choices, and other personalized forms of tribute.  These special touches assure that the story of your loved one’s life will be told in a dignified, memorable way.

Preplanning … it means so much.

Most people find that planning ahead for their funeral or cremation service is one of the most thoughtful acts they can do for their family. Preplanning eliminates the burden a survivor endures when they have to make arrangements without knowing the wishes of their loved one.

Pre-funding the arrangements.

Those who have made their funeral arrangements in advance usually take advantage of our available payment options and cost-saving programs. Additionally, preplanning can lessen the family’s financial stress by prepaying for services at today’s cost.

Advance planning makes sense for the following reasons:

• Arranges the details according to your wishes
• Eliminates your family from wondering if they “did the right thing”
• Organizes personal records
• Reduces family burden and emotional stress
• Assures that costs are covered, and not passed on to your loved ones
  

And after the funeral…

We all understand that the death of someone you love is one of life’s most stressful and traumatic events.  And we also understand that quite often, a family member might need some extra support in dealing with this type of loss.  So we have developed a complete, comprehensive program of aftercare, which assists families well after the funeral services are completed.  This important program offers family’s access to community support groups, counselors, and other organizations that can be of great help to the recently bereaved.  Please ask us about this important support system.

Creating a tribute that lasts…

Families who desire to place a permanent monument for their loved one trust us to create a design that is distinctive, dignified, and appropriate. Our monuments are crafted to your exact specifications, and can be personalized to reflect the life that was lived.

Our memorial specialists, George Stauffer, Courtney Stauffer and Camille Cline would be honored to help you create a lasting tribute ranging from upright markers to bronze plaques. We can help you through every step of the process, right in the comfort of our funeral home. Please call us for more details.
