In a tribute video, your treasured family photos become the centerpiece of your loved one's celebration of life. We blend them with themed graphic elements and music, to create a one-of-a-kind memorial tribute video. Shown at the service, your tribute video DVD then quickly becomes a keepsake for family and friends.

Services
Life is full of opportunities to show someone we love them. One such opportunity is the funeral or memorial service. Such a loving event celebrates the choices they made, the relationship you shared, and honors the memory of your loved one. It's important to take the time to acknowledge the uniqueness of the deceased: the individuality of their personality, and the uniqueness of their life's path.

Honoring the achievements of your loved ones and celebrating the life you shared together are the cornerstones of healing after loss. Honoring the life of your loved one means you value the relationship you shared. We look forward to helping you decide how to celebrate that bond, and honor the unique individual you've lost.
There are two facets of the design process. First, we ask you to consider how you wish to honor and celebrate the life. When those important decisions are made, we'll turn to the issue of how you wish to care for the physical remains. It's about bringing those you love together, at a time of loss. It's a natural thing to do, and over time, has become a socially-expected practice.

The folks at Lakin treated us so well, I can’t say enough good things about them. They were kind and compassionate, listened to our concerns, talked us through the process, and were flexible. They made sure my father had an excellent memorial. The whole sad affair was made so much easier, having this professional team handling the details. Thank you all.

The Lakin family has been noting but kind and sympathetic to me and my family for generations. Donovan provided services for my great grandparents, and my most beloved grandmother Elsie Mae and most recently the sudden unexpected death of my mother. Living hundreds of miles away Donovan always reassured me he would take the best care of my loved ones especially my grandmother that passed away in a hospital, the thought of her being left there was physically painful for me, Donovan went and picked her up right away. Thank you Lakin Funeral home for all your love, sympathy and support over the years

Please, please do not entrust these horrible people with your loved ones. The day my fiancé was taken from me, I called and asked to see him. They were extremely hateful and heartless. Literally yelled at me for asking such a thing at 10pm. Finally, I was able to go see him and the entire time I was trying to say goodbye they were standing near me asking inappropriate questions or clearing their throats wanting me to hurry along. They were harsh in their words. The male owner would not allow me to hold my fiancé's hand and said he was mangled from the chest down in his accident...turns out this
