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.

People are customizing their funerals more than ever, and headstone personalization is very popular. However, we recommend that people remember that their loved ones are already unique. There is no way that any phrase, poem, or image can capture them perfectly, so don't find yourself lost in overdoing the presentation and second-guessing your choices year over year.

1. Sayings on gravestones are called “epitaphs.”
2. Many gravestones face east, so the deceased can rise up and face the sun of a new day when reborn.
3. Carved motifs on gravestones carry meaning. For example, a winged hourglass tells us that time flies, an hourglass on its side indicates time stopping.

Cemeteries, churchyards, and burial places are often included in local habitat action plans looking at wildlife conservation priorities. Similar to parks, the solitude mixed with the infrequent noise disturbances make them prime locations for thriving life.

It’s easy to get a columbarium niche and a mausoleum confused! A mausoleum is technically for a full body burial, whereas a niche is for the placement of cremated remains. However, mausoleums often contain columbariums within the building, so the confusion is understandable. Are you looking into a mausoleum or niche? Contact us and we can help answer all your questions.

The first crypts were built in Greece, Italy, and South Africa as final resting places for saints, priests, martyrs, and others deemed worthy of entombment within a church.
