Is embalming mandatory by law?
It is not, but there are factors of time and health that may make embalming either appropriate or necessary. Please note that embalming may be required if the deceased is being transported by air to another country where local laws need to be observed. You can always contact us if you have questions on this subject, as we know it can be an unfamiliar subject to many.

What is a committal service?
Funerals often take place at the mortuary chapel or at a place of religious worship. In that case, an internment and committal service can follow at the graveside. These are important gatherings to commemorate a life and mark the end of physical closeness. Family and friends gather to commit a loved one to the earth and say final farewells together. A committal service can be a symbolic and a helpful step in healing.

Why must I give you my social security number?
Most states require proper recording of the death certificate and insurance companies require proof of death and “advance planning” documents require all of your personal data, including social security numbers. Because of this, we are bound by confidentiality agreements and your information is secured in your permanent file with us.
