Effective 4/8/2020 through (at least) 5/01/2020 we will conduct NO committal services in our chapels or at the graveside. All burial services will be DIRECT burials.

Hot beverages will be available for our families but will be prepared by our staff and dispensed from CLOSED brewing containers as opposed to open air traditional coffee pots. Hot tea and cocoa will be prepared by a staff member upon request. Condiments (i.e., creamer pods and sugars) are individually wrapped and will be available to our families. Plastic tongs will be available to pick up these items. Bottled water will be available upon request (for as long as we can get it).
Hand Sanitizer, Kleenex and bacterial wipes will be provided (for as long as we can get them).

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.
