Yes, you can! 💛

Embalming isn’t always required—it mainly depends on your plans. If you’re having a private viewing or service soon after passing, embalming may not be necessary. But if you’d like a public visitation, open casket service, or need extra time for family to gather, embalming helps preserve your loved one for that meaningful goodbye.

We’ll walk you through every option so you can choose what feels right for your family and your loved one.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

We want to remind all the ladies out there (and men!) how important it is to have your yearly screening mammogram. Mammograms are proven to reduce breast cancer deaths by detecting cancer early. You can have your mammogram right here in town at Oklahoma Medical Center

Be sure and focus on taking care of yourselves so you're around for those you love.

One thing a lot of people don't know about is how many sweet, thoughtful remembrance options are available.

We have a variety of things to choose from- jewelry, keepsakes, and so much more- to help you remember the life of your loved one and keep them close.

Come see us anytime to take a look or work on preplanning your own service.

Yes, you absolutely can—and it can make a world of difference for your family.

When you prepay, it also takes a huge weight off your family's shoulders during an already emotional time, because all the details and financial decisions are already handled. Most importantly, prepaying makes sure your wishes are honored—so your family doesn’t have to guess what you would have wanted.

👉 And here’s the best part: you can preplan the entire thing right on our website—from your computer or even your phone. It’s simple, secure, and gives your family peace of mind.

Every family’s story is different—and the way we honor that story should be too. 💛

When it comes to memorial services, there are so many ways to make it personal. Photos, music, keepsakes, or even little touches that remind folks of who your loved one really was—we can help you pull it all together.

It doesn’t have to be the same for everyone. It’s about celebrating a life well lived in a way that feels true to your family.
