Funeral Services

Programs that provide ceremonies in remembrance of individuals who have died. Options may include visitations (scheduled time for family and friends to gather prior to, or sometimes in place of, a memorial service to pay one's respects and say goodbye to the person); private viewings (similar to a visitation but open only to family members and close friends at the immediate family's request); and memorial services (services generally held in a funeral home which can be religious or secular, with or without the decedent's body being present). Generally included in the price of the service are ushers, organ or other music, care and arrangement of flowers and accompanying cards from donors and transfer of flowers from the church/funeral home to the place of interment.
