Have you considered whether burial or cremation feels right for you?

Some people know immediately which choice fits them better. Maybe you picture yourself laid to rest in the family plot near your parents, or maybe you prefer the idea of your cremated remains lawfully scattered somewhere you loved. Both options give your family a way to honor you, and both come with their own considerations.

Telling your family which direction you lean takes one big question off their shoulders when they're already overwhelmed. If you're somewhere in the middle or honestly don't have a preference, that's worth saying too. Your family will feel better making the choice if they know they're following your lead. And rest assured that we’ll be there to guide them.

"What is a cremation casket?"
A cremation casket is designed to be cremated along with your loved one. These caskets use wood or other combustible materials without heavy metal parts that can't be cremated.
Cremation caskets range from simple containers to more elaborate options, depending on what feels right for your family and whether you're planning a viewing. If you're having a viewing, we can walk you through what's available and help you decide what makes sense for your family.

Funerals help you find your footing when everything feels upside down.

Familiar acts like lighting a candle, sharing communion, or walking together to the graveside become stepping stones that help you move forward.

We'll walk you through meaningful traditions, one step at a time. And if you'd like to create something entirely new, we'll help you build that too.

What tradition has brought you the most comfort?
