- AKAnthony KerleyOct 30, 20251.0Be sure to bury your loved ones in a swimsuit and snorkle because they will be under water with every heavy rain. I am heartbroken that my mother is buried there.
- BCBen CharvetOct 23, 20255.0We met with Faith and Kirk to order and buy our headstone. They we're both very friendly, helpful,and professional. Kirk was able to create a visual picture of what it will look like too. We were introduced to the entire sales staff while we were there. We are looking forward to seeing it installed
- LSLisa SOct 9, 20255.0My father and I met with Andre and Kirk. We were in need of a burial spot quickly. They were nothing but professional, helpful and fair. On the day of the burial everything went as planned. The burial crew were all respectful and professional. They had everything ready when we arrived early. Prices were fair as far as cemeteries go. I would definitely recommend them.

Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
