Services & what things cost

Every family gets the same things from us: our full attention, our own people at every step, and every cost on paper before you say yes to anything. What the day itself looks like is yours to shape — these are the shapes it most often takes.

Burial

Visitation the evening before or the hour prior; a service in our chapel, your church, or at the graveside; the procession; the burial. Traditional, unhurried, and done the way this county has done it for generations — with room for the ways your family does it.

Cremation

Our crematory is our own, here on the property — your person never leaves our care, and the same hands attend the whole way. Cremation can follow a full service with visitation, or come first with a memorial gathering after, or stand alone, simply. All three are done well here; none is lesser.

Memorial & celebration-of-life gatherings

For families without a church, our celebrant builds the service from the life itself — the stories, the music, the people. Our gathering room seats a crowd comfortably and has hosted everything from string quartets to a bluegrass band with the amps turned up.

Every service includes

The obituary, written with you and published here; livestreaming for the far-away, at no charge, always; the guestbook, kept and returned to the family; help with death certificates, Social Security, insurance, and veterans honors — we are proud to serve veterans and their families, and military honors are arranged as a matter of course.

Costs, plainly

Starting figures, so nobody has to ask the hard question first. Every family’s arrangement is itemized on paper before anything is decided.
