Choose a Funeral Home You Truly Know.

At Cornerstone Funeral Services & Cremations, we provide complete funeral services designed around your family’s needs and wishes—including:
• Funeral services followed by cremation, helping families save thousands in cemetery costs
• Meaningful memorial services
• Simple, dignified direct cremations

When the time comes, it matters who you trust. Choose a funeral home where the people you meet are the same people who will care for your loved one—not a name bought and kept by strangers, not a corporate operation where families are treated like numbers and profits are split among layers of ownership.

We are local. We are present. We are accountable.
And every family matters here.

Providing peace of mind with compassion & excellence.

At Cornerstone Funeral Services & Cremations, excellence is intentional—down to the smallest detail.

From the moment families walk through our doors, they experience immaculate service rooted in professionalism, dignity, and care. Our team presents itself with purpose, understanding that how we serve and how we appear both speak to the respect we hold for every life entrusted to us.

Our beautifully designed facility was created to feel warm, modern, and comforting. Thoughtfully selected furnishings, clean architectural lines, and inviting spaces allow families to gather, reflect, and honor their loved ones in an environment that feels peaceful—not overwhelming.

Most importantly, we believe no two lives are the same. Our directors do not offer one-size-fits-all services. Every arrangement is tailored with intention, allowing families the freedom to create a meaningful tribute that truly reflects the life being celebrated.

At Cornerstone, details matter. Compassion matters. And honoring every life with excellence is not optional—it’s who we are.

Providing peace of mind with compassion & excellence.
