A Real Funeral Home
A dedicated chapel - not a converted room.
Some providers in our area hold services in a storefront or convert a visitation room into a makeshift funeral space. We are a true, full-service funeral home: a dedicated chapel that seats more than 250 guests, with the latest audio and video, an organ for traditional music, and grounds built for gathering.
And in our Signature Funeral Service, a steel burial vault is included — a level of protection most homes charge extra for. It is one more way we put real value, not upsells, in front of your family.
Be an Informed Family
Questions you should ask any funeral home
A burial is a significant decision, and you deserve clear answers before you make it. These are the questions we
believe every family should ask any provider they consider — here are ours, answered honestly.
A simple test: ask any funeral home these questions and notice how directly they answer. Clear, confident answers tell you a great deal about who will be caring for your loved one.
About the Funeral & your Service
Q
Is the service held in your own dedicated chapel?
Yes — a dedicated chapel that seats more than 250, with full audio and video and an organ for traditional music. We never convert a visitation room into a makeshift funeral space, as some homes in our area do. Ask any provider whether their service space is purpose-built or borrowed.
Q
Will our family be the only one using the facility?
Yes. We serve one family at a time. Your visitation and service are private — you will never share our building with another family’s gathering at the same time.
Q
Can the service span two days, or be held the same day?
Either way. We plan around your family and your faith’s customs — a visitation and funeral across two days, or everything gathered into a single day if that’s easier for travelers.
Q
Do you offer live-streaming for distant family?
Yes. Our chapel is equipped with the latest audio and video, so loved ones who cannot travel can take part, and the recording can be shared afterward.
About Caskets, Vaults & Cost
Q
Is a burial vault required — and is one included?
The law does not require a vault, though most cemeteries require an outer container to protect the grave. In our Signature Funeral Service, a steel burial vault is included — a premium most homes charge for separately.
Q
Can we see your full casket and vault pricing?
Yes — the complete, itemized price lists, every time. We’ll walk you through caskets and vaults across every style and budget, and you will never be pushed toward the most expensive option.
Q
Can we hold the service at our church instead?
Absolutely — in fact, we specialize in it. Many families gather at their home church, and we coordinate every detail with your clergy. See the local congregations we work with below.
Q
Do you handle veterans’ honors and VA benefits?
Yes, with honor. We coordinate military honors, flag presentation, and burial in a national cemetery when eligible, and we help your family file for VA death benefits.
