Most people avoid discussing death and dying until it's too late. When a loved one dies the family is usually in crisis, unprepared for all the issues they now must face; while at the same time, they're in the process of grieving and dealing with the emotional upheaval that comes along with it.
We came here to help an overwhelmed family plan their loved one's funeral service. Important questions to keep in mind are: what are the wishes of the deceased, and what does the family need to help them with the process of grieving. There are many options (ask for the cost of each) that the funeral home will give you, but you need to keep in mind that you are the one who decides what you want to include. A priority list needs to be made so important issues are addressed. Bring a trusted friend, family member or clergy member who can keep a cool head to help sort things out.
Comfortable and spacious viewing rooms and a nice little dining room to hold a reception afterwards. I appreciated that they provided umbrellas to get back and forth between the two buildings and your car when it rained. Staff are respectful.
