North Ridge & Howard City Funeral Homes

North Ridge & Howard City Funeral Homes Celebrating Memories And Healing Hearts. They are family-owned and operated and will welcome you like you are a part of the family.

North Ridge Funeral Home is ready to serve your family with top-quality care regardless of your religion, background, culture, or budget. It may take a while to heal and move past the loss of a loved one, but the funeral home will guide you through that path. The funeral planning team takes great care in getting to know the deceased and their personality and preferences to create a unique and customized service. North Ridge Funeral Home is happy to provide funeral or cremation services for your loved one. Traditional funeral services may align with your style, such as visitation with an open-casket which can be optional before the funeral. And then, a graveside ceremony at the burial location is preferred for many families, sometimes with a more intimate guest list. Modern funerals can look any way you like and are often set up as a life celebration with a lighthearted tone. You can throw a party for the deceased, highlighting their favorite music, sports teams, food, and hobbies. Cremation services offer an affordable option known as direct cremation. When you do not have to pay for a public gathering, you can keep the cost low while laying your loved one to rest respectably. Cremation with a memorial ceremony is the way to go if you would like people to travel from near and far for a gathering service to honor the life of your loved one. Veteran services and military honors can be implemented into any format. Also, green burial options are available for those who are environmentally conscious. North Ridge Funeral Home loves to serve the people of Moorland, Bridgeton, Bailey, Pierson, Sheridan Charter Township, Croton, Ashland, Sand Lake, Trufant, Conklin, Ravenna, Cedar Springs, and Kent City. They can also arrange for anatomical donation if you have a body you would like to donate to science. Is it time to start pre-planning funeral services for your own service that may be years in the future? North Ridge Funeral Home can help you take care of all of the planning details so that your family can be free from that stress when the time comes. Take a funeral home tour at 88 E Division St Sparta, MI 49345. Or call (616) 887-1761 to speak to a team member.
