- KNKimberley Brown Naylor4 days ago5.0I travelled all the way from Brandon MS to pay my respects to this sweet girl… you are SOOOO greatly missed. ❤️
- TNTom NickollsNov 17, 20255.0During a period of profound grief the representatives of Seaside Memorial Park made the experience of burying my spouse seem less painful. The staff was both professional and accommodating to my needs.
- PBpaula blivinNov 9, 20255.0The support and services provided by Seaside Funeral Home was nothing short of phenomenal. It’s already a stressful time for the family. They simplified every step of the process. The attention to detail was so greatly appreciated. From arranging a private family viewing of our mother - she truly looked like she was just sleeping, to helping rewrite the obituary we prepared (which was much more difficult than I expected to write - I did a “fair job” of it. I told them were welcome to modify and make it sound better. What got posted made me look like an incredible writer. The entire extended family and friends had great words of praise for what “I wrote”. They had all the paperwork we needed each step of the way completed in record time. I volunteer for a military affiliated organization and often help newly widowed spouses - who are not able to begin receiving benefits until they submit a death certificate - and they are often waiting 6 weeks+ for them. This is what I was expecting to wait. Seaside had the death certificate and copies for me in 9 days! I was stunned. It allowed me to begin the process of closing her accounts and finalizing paper work in less than 2 weeks. We are so grateful for all their help, extreme professionalism and attention to every detail.

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.
Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?
The Federal Trade Commission says, "Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial."
