This Cremation Package provides for the basic cremation, a gathering of friends and family at the funeral home, and a service in our chapel or a church.

A Gathering is a time where friends “gather” informally to express their love and concern to family members, share stories and honor their relationship. Usually held the evening prior to a memoria`l service, this special time may include the sharing of a memorial video, a display of items of remembrance along with the selected urn. It may also include special music or refreshments. It is important that it captures the personality and unique qualities of the life lived.

A Memorial Service is a special event or “service” for friends and family to honor relationships and celebrate life. The service can be held at any time or location and be as unique and special as the life itself. The service may be religious or secular, solemn or celebratory. It may include a time of sharing stories and remembrances or center around special music. The possibilities are virtually endless.

The importance, however, of any service or memorial event, is to honor life . . .
its joys and relationships, its moments and memories.

You will have an opportunity to share your thoughts on the service and gathering
at the conclusion of Step 4.
