This section contains useful information about what to do when death occurs, funeral etiquette and frequently asked questions. No matter if a death is sudden, or if it was expected, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one.
Traditionally, a burial service involves a visitation, followed by a funeral service in a church, or other place of worship. The casket is typically present at both these events, and it is your decision on whether to have the casket open or not. You have the option of having the remains interred (earth burial), or it may be entombed in a crypt inside a mausoleum (above ground burial).
Giving a meaningful, moving eulogy can be a nerve-wracking situation for even the most accomplished public speaker, but it need not be. How can you summarize somebody's life in a few short minutes, while being both somber and funny at the same time? Writing and delivering a eulogy is a therapeutic tool to help deal with your grief, and being chosen to give a eulogy is an honor and should be treated that way.

Very nice and private funeral home. This was my first experience having to make arrangements for a family member with the passing of my mother, and being an only child it was quite difficult. I did not know where to start or how to go about things. Jeff walked me through everything and helped me out anyway he could. It's nice to know there still good people in today's world and I would highly recommend anyone to use this funeral home. I am very grateful to have met Jeff and thankful for all the help he provided.

This review took me a little bit to write just because of the difficulty I’ve had with my mother’s passing a month and a half ago. This is without a doubt the hardest situation I’ve ever faced but I COULD NOT have made it through without Jeff’s help and generosity. I mean literally from the initial phone call all the way to my mother’s service, he worked with my father and I to figure out what was the best moves to make. Jeff has never made me feel like I was just another customer/sale, going above and beyond is putting it mildly, to be honest. I’m 29 and have lost my mother to extraordinary

After the death of my father, I needed guidance in the death of my mother in law. Jeff Collett answered all of my questions and guided my husband Tony Guzek and I through a beautiful, peaceful end of life. Jeff and his son David guided us through every day and never left us. I am so grateful for using a funeral home in my community that has made this less stressful and affordable. Thank you Jeff and David

After the recent passing of my uncle Garry, Jeff was a great help to my cousin and I during a very difficult situation. His knowledge and suggestions were greatly appreciated; I would highly recommend Konicek & Collett, and Jeff, to any and all who find themselves in need of this type of assistance.

I have experienced much death over the years but NEVER have i been so blessed than when my family met Jeff Collett...my uncle passed away and due to various circumstances, my family had limited resources, ideas, and not to mention, no real drive to deal with any of the arrangements. We were lost!! My uncle chose this funeral home before passing ( which is not the funeral home my family normally chooses)...now i understand why! !! Jeff and his son were so reassuring that everything would run smoothly; it did. Jeff personally went ABOVE AND BEYOND in assisting me and my family. I know for a fact
