ABOUT US


Our licensed funeral directors are experts at the details of funeral arrangements, and will handle what needs to be done in regards to making sure your loved one is laid to rest with respect and dignity. This includes everything from embalming to preparing the body for viewing through final disposition of the remains.

If you wish to have a non-religious service conducted, our certified celebrants are officially trained and educated and can conduct services appropriate to your wishes. 

We have funeral attendants on staff as well to help with additional details that do not require a licensed funeral director. You can be assured that every item will be attended to.

If you would like to pay tribute to your loved one, we offer three levels of tribute packages. Each tribute package contains meaningful items such as a framed portrait, color tri-fold brochure, and thank you cards and envelopes. We can also customize packages as requested.

For veterans we offer special tributes and ceremonies,including a flag folding ceremony in which the flag is presented to the veteran’s family. Taps is played and the ceremony is conducted with at least two members from the US military. Information about getting a Veterans Administration funded headstone is provided as well. 

For members of the armed forces, police force, fire department, and emergency medical services (EMS)killed in the line of duty, we have a Fallen Heroes program that provides many no cost services.

Please explore the rest of our website where you will find other valuable information and services.
