Other Information
A graveside option begins with a visitation. It has been proven that viewing the
embalmed body in a peaceful state during visitation makes it easier for family
and friends to say goodbye and gain closure. Private time is reserved for family
before the public visitation. Floral arrangements, photographs, personal
mementos and other special items are used to spark memories and pay honor to the
life lived. Generally, visitations last for two to six hours the day before the
graveside rites. Our family reception room offers a place to gather and
spend time with those who have come to share in your loss.
Families gather at the grave site where a brief ceremony is held to honor the
memory of the deceased. Prayers and remarks are said before final goodbyes are
made.
Most families choose to have a luncheon reception after the services at the
cemetery. This is an informal gathering where families greet those in
attendance. These luncheon receptions are held at the funeral home, church,
community building or a restaurant. Our family reception room is an
option selected by many families. Meals can be catered to suit every taste and
budget.
