Funerals fill an important role for those mourning the loss of a loved one. By providing surviving family members and friends a caring, supportive environment in which to share thoughts and feelings about the death, funerals are the first step in the healing process.

Giving family, friends and associates an opportunity to say goodbye can help significantly following the death of someone close. Often, stories and anecdotes are shared and sometimes even discovered this way. A public funeral can give a meaning and moment to positive memories which will otherwise be lost.

However, you may wish for privacy as you grieve. We understand and respect the choice of holding a private celebration, if that is your wish.

If you do not wish to have a service, we can still assist you with all the practical arrangements.
