"Pets have a way of finding the people who need them, and filling an emptiness we didn’t ever know we had."
By Thom Jones

Dealing with the loss of a pet should never be minimized. It can spark deep feelings of grief in the people who care for the cherished creature. Give yourself time to grieve. Everyone experiences loss differently so there’s no reason to expect specific behaviors.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be gone anyway.”
We hear this a lot from people who feel unsure or even indifferent about planning their own funeral. And we understand. When you’re thinking about the end of your life, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the details. You may not care what music is played, who speaks, or whether there’s a gathering at all. You might even think skipping a service would make things easier for your family. Or save money.
But here’s the truth: it does matter.
It matters because the people you love will one day face one of the hardest days of their lives. What you do now and how you choose to prepare, can give them comfort, clarity, and peace when they need it most. Every little step taken today will ease some stress of the future for them. Trahan Funeral Chapel, 989-893-6583, is here to help you with those first steps in planning.

What would you choose — cremation or burial?

When planning a funeral—whether for yourself or a loved one—one of the biggest choices is between cremation and burial.

💠 Cremation: Usually less expensive. Ashes can be kept, scattered, or placed in an urn. It offers flexibility.

💠 Burial: It involves a casket and gravesite, often with a headstone. Some people find comfort in having a physical place to visit.

To honor a person’s service in defense of our freedoms, Trahan Funeral Chapel frequently arranges for our nation’s veterans to be commemorated with special military observances.
Depending on the branch of service, military detachments may provide a color guard, musicians, gun salute, or even a flyover. We have contacts with all branches of the military, so the proper arrangements can be made easily and efficiently.
