Modern vs. Traditional: Funeral and Cremation Care in Mentor, OH

All funeral and memorial services share common elements that need to be discussed and coordinated with the family. These generally include event planning and logistical needs. For example, the family will likely be asked questions such as:

• Should the service be a public or private occasion?
• When will services occur? 
• Where should the funeral or memorial service be held? 
• Are there any readings that should be delivered? 
• Who should speak, and what should be shared at the service? 
• Are the deceased’s funeral wishes known? 
• Will the funeral be a traditional or modern service?
• Are there any cultural or traditional funeral practices that the family wishes to observe?
• Will the body be cremated or buried?
  

Personalization

Those who come to pay respect to the deceased by attending a funeral may be grieving at their loss. The last thing they need is a funeral or memorial service that is impersonal and unfeeling. Every service should honor the memory of the deceased, their life, character, personality, and important achievements. Their story matters! That’s why we believe funeral and cremation services in Mentor, OH should be as unique as the individual that has passed on.

Services We Offer:

We provide several meaningful service options which are available to honor your fallen loved one. Whatever you decide is fitting and appropriate for your family is what we will help you to accomplish. We can offer a wide selection of afterlife services such as:

Funeral Services: The traditional funeral typically includes visitation hours, a funeral ceremony, and a committal service at the grave where families are sending flowers. These can be customized according to your needs. You can add to or remove any of these services. Some families do not wish to hold a viewing or formal funeral. Rather, they choose to hold a family service at the graveside.

Memorial Services: If the body is not present at the ceremony due to cremation, distance, or for any other reason, a memorial service can be held. This gathering is much the same as a funeral service in format and purpose.

Burial: As part of our services, we can arrange and coordinate the proper burial of the deceased. This includes earth burial or internment of any kind should support be needed.

Cremation: This alternative way of caring for mortal remains is a growing trend among the families of our community. Not only is it less expensive because of its cremation cost and flexible choice for the cremated remains, but it is also considered to be more earth-friendly. There are other thoughtful reasons to choose the cremation process as well.

Grief Support: The loss of a loved one can be emotionally overwhelming. Our funeral team will compassionately support you and your family in your grief and provide caring support throughout the funeral experience. If more support is needed, we can refer you to a qualified grief counselor for ongoing support.
