As a public entity, we want to assure you that we are taking this Pandemic very seriously and are taking all necessary precautions to ensure that we reduce your risk to exposure while in attendance at our facility.

Effective July 11, 2018
For the safety and comfort of our families and visitors we will be closing and locking both of our mausoleums (Alpha Utopia and Fireside) every evening. The mausoleum doors will be locked manually each evening Monday thru Sunday at 7:30 pm. We will unlock the doors every morning at 7:00 am so that loved ones may visit. The keypad on the doors will still be used during visiting hours but once the building is locked the keypad will no longer work.
We apologize for any inconvenience
Visiting Hours for Alpha Utopia Mausoleum and Fireside Mausoleum: 7:00am - 7:30pm Monday thru Sunday
Why is Preplanning Important?
Many families find excellent value in going through the advanced planning process for their final arrangements. Advanced planning allows for you to record vital information and keep it on file with our funeral home or cemetery and eases the process your family might endure at the time of death.
Additionally, advanced planning allows for you to plan the Celebration of Life event, venue, music, disposition choice and desired final resting place. To learn more about the value of advanced planning, please read the information we have included within our website. You may also call us and we will discuss the choices you have available to you over the phone or in person.
