SPECIAL AND UNIQUE SERVICES

BALLOON RELEASE

Mourners release balloons into the air at the end of the graveside or memorial service as a symbolic gesture of “letting go” of their loved one- a means of bringing closure to a meaningful tribute.

CANDLE CEREMONY

The flame is carried from a pillar candle which signifies the unique life and accomplishments of the deceased, to votive candles which represent the light he/she brought into your lives.

MEMORY BOARD

Poster size Styrofoam boards are made available to every family on which pictures may be mounted, framed, and displayed at the services.

MEMORIAL VIDEO (DVD)
 

          Familes can bring in photos of their loved one and we will make a free DVD slide-show to view during calling hours and a service.
 

MEMORY PILLOW

A heart shaped pillow is available to be personalized by loved ones as an opportunity for last expressions of love.

SHARE THE BEAR CEREMONY

This ceremony is especially designed for grieving children. A large teddy bear is passed to each child who will give it a hug or share a special message, after which the large bear is placed in the casket with their loved one. Each child then receives a smaller keepsake bear to remind them of the special bond they shared with the deceased.

I REMEMBER WHEN COLLECTION

Pages are distributed at calling hours among the mourners, who are encouraged to write down a memory of the deceased or a message of condolence to the family.
