Burial Caskets

We provide a wide variety of burial caskets crafted from different materials, including wood, steel, and metal. With numerous styles to choose from and a range of pricing options, you can select what best reflects your loved one. Customization options are also available to create a more personal tribute.


Burial Vaults

Many cemeteries require a burial vault to help preserve the casket and maintain the integrity of the grounds. These vaults offer additional protection and are a popular choice for families seeking added peace of mind.


Memorial Markers

Memorial markers serve as a lasting tribute to a loved one’s memory. They offer a permanent place for family and friends to visit, reflect, and honor a life well lived.


Urns

Our urn selection supports the growing preference for cremation, featuring a variety of options including biodegradable urns for scattering and traditional urns made from materials like wood, marble, bronze, and ceramic. Styles range from simple to decorative.


Urn Vaults

When burying an urn, cemeteries often require an urn vault to protect both the urn and the surrounding area. These vaults provide durability and long-term protection.


Cremation Caskets

We offer cremation caskets designed specifically for use in cremation, often chosen by families holding a traditional service prior to cremation.


Flowers

In partnership with local florists, we offer elegant floral arrangements for visitations, funeral services, memorials, or graveside ceremonies. Arrangements may be designed for display on caskets, urns, or as freestanding tributes. You can also select flowers for an upcoming service.

Let Your Wishes Be Known

The death of a loved one often brings about unwarranted stress and turmoil among families. One family member wants one thing, while another family member wants something different.


By planning ahead, you help prevent those disagreements by letting your family know what your wishes are and how you want your funeral service to be carried out and your business handled.

Offers Peace of Mind

Our staff will carry out the arrangements you want, just as you directed. Once the plans have been arranged, you and your family can rest easy knowing at the time of death, those uncomfortable decisions have been made. In a time when a family should be able to grieve, preplanning allows for that to happen.

Flexible Funding Options

When you preplan your funeral arrangements, there are more options when it comes to funding the funeral. A preneed insurance policy, life insurance policy or other payment options can all be arranged before the time of death. At the time of death, services must be paid in full, so having options ahead of time can also reduce other stress related to losing someone.

Relieve the Burden from Family

Following the death of a loved one, there are more than 150 decisions that have to be made within the first day or two following the death. Those stressful decisions on top of the stress of grieving a loss can be eliminated by arranging your final wishes ahead of time. If those decisions are made, your loved ones aren’t left wondering what you would have wanted and how they should proceed with funeral plans. With those decisions out of the way, your loved one can begin the healing process sooner.

Common Questions About Preplanning

  • What steps are involved in prearranging a funeral?

    The first step would be to write down your wishes. Indicate if you would prefer burial or cremation. Write down your ideas for the service you would like, cemetery choice, etc. If you've made those choices, or even if you're unsure, schedule a time to meet with one of our funeral directors who can explain the different service options, merchandise choices, as well as the different ways to pay for the funeral.

  • What information do I need to prearrange a funeral?

    You'll need basic information about yourself or the person you are planning for, such as date of birth, marital status, parent's full names, etc. Besides the biological information, you'll need to choose burial or cremation, what type of service you'd like, what cemetery to use, etc. Our caring staff will help you with this process.

  • Do I have to pay in advance?

    Preplanning is merely making your wishes known; however, most families who do this also choose to pre-fund their funeral. Doing so will relieve the financial burden on your family and offer peace of mind to you.
