Services
We have two convenient locations to serve you. They feature warm colors and attractive furnishings which were carefully chosen to provide an environment that is comfortable and welcome. The photos below show some of the vehicles currently owned by the funeral home. We also have several antique funeral coaches and a flower car.
When you need to make funeral arrangements, we'll set up a time that's convenient for you to come to the funeral home. If for any reason you're not able, we can come to your home. Prior to your making any decisions regarding funeral services or merchandise, your funeral director will provide you with a copy of the funeral home's General Price List.
As part of our service to you we will notify Social Security when someone dies. The current death benefit is $255 and is payable only to a surviving spouse, or to eligible dependent children. This website is excellent and offers a great deal of information about the benefits and eligibility.
It also offers an opportunity to do things online such as determine your eligibility and/or begin the application process for benefits you may be entitled to.

There are many "shades" of green possible when planning a green funeral or natural burial, based on your preferences, available funeral home services, cemetery capabilities, and local rules and regulations.
A green funeral incorporates environment-friendly options, and may include any or all of the following: no embalming or embalming with formaldehyde-free products; the use of sustainable biodegradable clothing, shroud or casket; using recycled paper products; serving organic food (if food may be served in a funeral home in your state); locally-grown organic flowers; funeral guest carpooling; natural or green burial.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
