Holding only a graveside service can be less expensive than holding a funeral or memorial service, and may be limited to only family members or may be open to all. Some costs that a graveside service could avoid are renting a chapel, use of funeral home staff, embalming, and elaborate features such as flowers and musicians.

How do you preplan?
Relax: Once the arrangements are set, you will receive a written statement to share with family and friends. For your convenience and peace of mind, a copy will also be kept at the funeral home.

Have you ever noticed stone or coins on some monuments, and wondered why they were there? Many cultures leave coins on the graves as a sign of permanence, and often the type of coin sent a different message. For example, with American veterans of the Vietnam war, a nickel indicated you trained together whereas a dime meant you personally served with that individual.

Why should you pre-plan your funeral? It's one way you can choose how you'll be remembered. It's a simple way to leave instructions, such as what music you'd like played at your memorial service.

As funeral directors, we often get asked, "why is it so important to have a funeral service?" Funeral Services help acknowledge death and provide your loved ones with a time and place to say goodbye.

People are customizing their funerals more than ever, and headstone personalization is very popular. However, we recommend that people remember that their loved ones are already unique. There is no way that any phrase, poem, or image can capture them perfectly, so don't find yourself lost in overdoing the presentation and second-guessing your choices year over year.
