Traditional Funeral Services
Traditional is still the most common type of funeral ceremony held, the casket or urn is usually present. Friends and family may sing or play songs in memory of the deceased. Someone may deliver a eulogy. They are also often religious in nature, so a pastor will most likely give a sermon and a hearse will transport remains to cemetery for burial.

Graveside committal services
Funeral services that occur at the cemetery where family and friends pay their final respects before the casket is lowered into the ground for burial. Love ones are committing the deceased back to the earth. This intimate service is called a committal service. A graveside service often follows a traditional funeral but sometimes may be the only service a family chooses.

Direct Burial
Sometimes a family desires to bury their loved one but does not plan a funeral or other formal ceremony. In this case, they may choose a direct burial option. With this option there is no visitation, funeral, or graveside service. The funeral home simply buries the casket. Direct burials are a more affordable option for a family that will not be having a formal funeral, but still wish to have their loved one interred in a cemetery.

Direct Cremation
Similar to direct burial, direct cremation is a stand-alone event. It is simply a cremation; there is no formal visitation or funeral. Following the cremation, we would return the remains to the family who may or may not choose to have a memorial service later.

Memorial service
This is a common type of funeral service which is similar to a traditional funeral, with the exception that the body or cremated remains are not present. The beauty of a memorial service is that they do not have to occur within a certain time frame following a death. They can occur the day after interment or inurnment or years later.
