You talk about many things with your loved ones: from day-to-day details to big events. Sharing stories with those who matter most isn't just important today; it will be especially significant when it's time to honor and commemorate your lives. Meaningful memorialization starts when loved ones talk about what matters most: memories made, lessons learned and how they hope to be remembered.
We are here to support and encourage people as they "have the talk" with their loved ones. Please call or email us if we can help you or provide additional information about your memorialization options. You have taken an important first step by coming to our site; and now, while you are thinking about it, is the best time to follow through and start preplanning your funeral.

Meeting the challenges that arise from social and technological change is important for furthering our abilities to cope in a modern society, and the last century has been a time when change has affected every aspect of living. Major changes have been especially pronounced in the relations of most people with the events of death, dying and grieving.
At the cemetery, there is an opening dug into the earth (commonly called a grave) and the casket is placed into the opening and then the grave is filled back in. Most cemeteries require the casket be placed into an outer burial receptacle.
These receptacles are made of concrete or of various kinds of metals and provide a measure of protection against the weight of the earth compressing the casket and may also provide a measure of protection for the casket against the elements.
