Burial Services
There are different elements you can choose from when arranging a burial, depending upon your individual needs and preferences:
Immediate Burial means that your loved ones physical remains will be buried or entombed without a public service or gathering.
Gathering (also called a ‘visitation’, ‘wake’ or ‘calling hours’) allows family and friends to gather in a room with the departed loved one (in an open or closed casket) and gives everyone the opportunity to say goodbye and offer their support and sympathy to the bereaved.
Funeral or Memorial Ceremonies can take place at a funeral home, in a church or even at your home. The ceremony serves to celebrate, honour and remember the life of the deceased. Whether traditional or unique, both the visitation and the ceremony can be personalized to reflect the individuality of your loved one.
Graveside or Committal Services are held at the cemetery and allow family and friends to be present as their loved one is transferred to his or her final disposition through ground burial.
Cremation Services
The biggest misconception about cremation is that there can’t be a ceremony or visitation. This is absolutely not the case – when you choose to care for the physical remains through cremation, we encourage you to consider holding a memorial service as well. There are many options open to you when it comes to honouring your loved ones life: you can provide a chance for friends and family to say goodbye through a final viewing before the cremation and you can also hold a formal service either before or after the cremation occurs. After the cremation itself, there are a variety of choices for the interment of your loved ones.
