As we embrace the joy and warmth of the holiday season, we also understand that this time can be particularly difficult for those who have lost a loved one. It is important to recognize the various emotions and feelings the holidays may bring. Whether you are finding comfort in cherished memories or facing the challenges of grief, please remember that you are not alone.

The most important factor in healing from loss is having the support of others; and having bereavement support makes the burden of grief easier to carry. Sharing your sorrow with others who have experienced similar losses can help, and that’s why grieving support groups can be invaluable.

We offer a wide range of services to honor your loved ones in meaningful ways. One of our special offerings is the Green Casketed Burial Service, designed to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainability. What is a Green Burial? Green, or natural burial, is a way of caring for the deceased with minimal environmental impact. It aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduces carbon emissions, and helps restore and preserve natural habitats. This practice involves using non-toxic and biodegradable materials, such as a wicker casket.

Viewing is a part of many cultural and ethnic traditions. Many grief specialists believe that viewing aids the grief process by helping the bereaved recognize the reality of death. Viewing is encouraged for children as long as the process is explained and the activity is voluntary. Open to only selected friends and family members, private viewings are an alternative option to public viewing and can be just as effective in the healing process.

The practice of using memorial urns for cremated remains has been in place for many centuries. Urns hold the last physical earthly elements of loved ones, and for many, they are sacred vessels. Our goal is to provide families with quality and elegant urns that complement each person's uniqueness, personal tastes, and budget.
