Natural Burial: The Oldest “New” Funeral Tradition.
Although green or natural burials might sound like a new concept, it actually would have been considered a traditional burial up until the 20th century. Before the development of chemicals and synthetic materials, burials were simple with very little environmental impact.

As funeral directors, we often get asked, "why is it so important to have a funeral service?" Funeral Services help acknowledge death and provide your loved ones with a time and place to say goodbye.

A rental casket is what is used for a traditional funeral service followed by cremation. The body never touches the inside of the rental casket, and a fresh insert is used for each ceremony. The way it's constructed, the end of the casket opens and the insert slides out to be cremated. To learn more about what we offer, give us a call at 518-273-3500.

Getting a tattoo with cremated remains? This relatively new method combines a small portion of the remains with traditional tattoo ink, and can be a truly personal way to carry a piece of them around with you throughout your life. Naturally, this is a service that has to be negotiated with the tattoo artist rather than the funeral home or mortician.

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."
- Rose Kennedy

A memorial service is like a funeral service, except there is no body. Memorial services allow for a great deal of flexibility if additional time is needed to gather together as a family for a service. It is not uncommon for a memorial service to be held more than a month after the deceased's passing.

Flag etiquette dictates that every time an American flag is to be stored or presented during a ceremony, its handlers should fold it in half twice lengthwise; then starting with the end opposite the blue field, make a taut triangular fold. Handlers continue to fold the flag in triangles until the flag has formed a triangular “pillow” with the blue field showing on the outside. It’s a dignified way to treat the flag, and by extension a dignified way to treat the deceased.
