We believe cremation can and should be an experience. Saying goodbye to a loved one is necessary regardless of what you choose for the body’s final resting place. The grieving process starts at a funeral, celebration of life, or gathering of some sort. In planning for your own funeral, or at the time of need for a loved one, consider creating an experience for friends, families, colleagues, and neighbors to say goodbye and begin the grieving process. If you would like us to contact you to answer any questions regarding a celebration of life, let us know if you prefer communication by phone or email: http://davisbabcock.celebrate-life.us/reach-out/

Yes, we return all remains. You choose if you want them returned in one or multiple urns. Often times families choose to split remains and take them to their separate homes.

Ever encountered a funeral procession while driving? What's the right way of handling the situation? Is it necessary to pull over?

While the laws vary from state to state, one should always pull over for a funeral procession out of politeness to the grieving family.

Some other good rules to keep in mind out of respect for the deceased and the family:
* Don't cut into a procession or cut them off
* Don't honk at the vehicles in the procession
* Yield the right of way until the entire procession is through the intersection
* On the highway, don't pass the procession on the right

In general, be patient and considerate, and keep in mind that the folks in the procession are likely going going through a very difficult time.
