Did You Know? Cremation Still Allows for Meaningful Choices.

Cremation doesn’t mean skipping the service. It simply gives families more flexibility in how they choose to honor their loved one.

Tell the story. Remember the life.

Here are three important steps when considering cremation:

Step 1: Arrange a meaningful service, tribute, or gathering.
A visitation, memorial service, or celebration of life allows family and friends to come together, share memories, and begin healing.

Step 2: Select a personalized cremation casket and/or urn.
From simple and dignified to beautifully customized options, you can choose something that reflects your loved one’s personality and legacy.

Step 3: Decide on final placement.
Whether burial in a cemetery, placement in a niche, scattering in a meaningful location, or keeping the urn at home — the choice is yours.

At Bell Funeral Home, we walk with you through every step with care, dignity, and compassion.

When a loved one passes, every family is different — and every service should reflect that.

At Bell Funeral Home, we offer several types of funeral services, and each one can be held at a location that feels most meaningful to your family — whether that’s our chapel, your church, or a peaceful graveside setting.

Here are a few options:

Traditional Funeral Service
A visitation followed by a formal service, often with burial afterward. This can be held in our chapel or at your church.

Graveside Service
A meaningful service held at the cemetery. Simple, personal, and intimate.

Memorial Service
A service without the body present. This can take place days later — giving family time to plan something truly special.

Celebration of Life
A more personalized gathering focused on honoring memories, stories, and the legacy of your loved one. This can be held in our chapel, a church, community center, or another venue of your choice.

No matter the service type, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
You are never limited — your service should reflect your loved one’s life, faith, and personality.

If you have questions about options or prearrangements, we are always here to talk.
