Choosing the Right Type of Service

There is no single way to say goodbye.


For some families, a traditional funeral with visitation followed by burial provides an important opportunity to gather and grieve together. Others choose cremation and hold a funeral or memorial service before or after the cremation takes place. Some families prefer a celebration of life that feels less formal and focuses on sharing stories and memories.



You do not have to understand all of these options before contacting us. We can explain what each choice involves, discuss what matters most to your family and help you create arrangements that feel appropriate for the person you love.

Cremation Can Still Include a Meaningful Servicee

Choosing cremation does not mean choosing to go without a funeral, visitation or gathering.


Cremation can be part of many different types of arrangements. Families may choose to have a visitation or funeral service before cremation, hold a memorial service afterward, plan a celebration of life, or create a more private gathering.


If you are considering cremation but are unsure about the options available, our funeral directors can walk you through them and help you decide what feels right for your family.



A Funeral Should Feel Personal

The most meaningful services often come from the details that made someone who they were.

A favorite song, photographs, military service, faith, hobbies, family traditions, accomplishments and even the stories people love to tell can become part of a funeral or memorial service.


Our funeral directors can help you find thoughtful ways to incorporate those details. The goal is not simply to plan an event. It is to create an opportunity for family and friends to remember the person they knew and honor the life they lived.



Here When You Need Guidance

Families often contact us during one of the most difficult days of their lives. You may be making arrangements for the first time, and you may not know what questions to ask. That is okay.


If a death has occurred, call (440) 943-2466. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tell us what has happened, and we will help you understand the next steps.
