At Moles Farewell Tributes, we specialize in creating beautiful memorial events that honor the story of a lifetime in unique and memorable ways. We are often asked "What is a Farewell Tribute?". The answer is that a Farewell Tribute is an option for families who do not want a traditional funeral but want to do something to mark the passing of a loved one.
No two Farewell Tributes are alike because each one is customized to tell the story of your unique journey through life. Our goal is to make your Farewell Tribute feel more like a celebration than a funeral. We recognize that many people have never experienced an event like this, which is why we back our services with our exclusive 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The burial of the deceased is one of the oldest traditions recorded. According to Wikipedia, the earliest undisputed human burial site dates back 130,000 years. A traditional burial may or may not involve the use of embalming procedures to preserve the body. Embalming can be performed to provide additional time for the family to gather, to hold a public visitation and possibly for a religious ceremony.

Our family can’t say enough about the outstanding work that Moles Farewell Tributes did for us, especially Brian Flowers the Funeral Director. Not only did they work closely with us to bring every detail to life for our service, but the level of care and creativity was excellent. Brian listened to our needs, then met us each step of the way with a solution or a recommendation. Thank you Brian and the Moles team for making an incredibly difficult time in our lives a little easier. Our family truly appreciates everything that you did to support us from start to finish.

Everyone at Moles Farewell Tributes is extremely warm hearted and will go out of their way to make you comfortable and at ease. They helped me find financial support for arrangements and made the whole experience seamless and effortless. They have continued to check in on the family months later and I am so grateful for their continued support.

When my father passed away the wonderful people at Moles took care of all the details - with the loss of a loved one it was comforting to have such caring, respectful people helping you. Everyone there has been very kind. I appreciate the information and options they have given for helping with grief and healing. Thank you to everyone at Moles Farewell Tributes.

When my daughter passed I was devastated and not sure what to do. I called Moles and right from the beginning they were excellent. My daughter left three children behind twins at 17 and a younger daughter 14. Brian was most helpful throughout the entire funeral taking into consideration ourselves and her grieving children. Would definitely recommend Moles funeral home..

Moles at Bayview Cemetery did a fantastic job for both of my parents that we have lost over the last few years. Brian flowers' is very professional and thorough and has become in my mind a good friend. The entire staff made this difficult experience less stressful. In spite of the covid-19 pandemic mom's service was handled extremely well with prompt follow-up and extremely professional experience throughout. I highly recommend to everyone, keep your parents close as long as you can. Moles has helped to keep our parents in our hearts forever.
Our thanks and appreciation go out to the entire Moles

Moles went way beyond my expectations. Their approach was kind, comforting and very personal. LIsa helped me through the entire process, which of course took time and a lot of decisions. I was never rushed.
My husband Rich is in his niche. He will be greatly missed.
Lisa was at the interment and even brought some dried rose petals ,which was a nice touch ,to put in the niche;.
And I recommend Moles as a good choice for funeral arrangements. I was very grateful for the help I received from Lisa and Brian

I appreciate Moles Farewell Tribute being able to work with me by text and email while traveling outside the US (at sea) to confirm/finalize funeral planning. Having worked with Moles Lakeway on another family members planing last year, I felt very comfortable with their quick responses to my questions. Thank you Moles for the ease of communication!

Brian Flowers helped us create and lead a green burial ceremony for my dad. His authenticity and desire to truly connect with our family meant so much. Moles took care of all the logistics and details. Every person we encountered was compassionate and knowing my dad was in good hands was such at comfort during a difficult time. With Brian’s guidance and help, the ceremony was a beautiful day that I’ll always remember fondly and I know my dad loved. I’d recommend Moles to every family, especially learning about green burial options and how participating more actively in the death process is
