Non-Traditional Services

Often called a "Non-Traditional Funeral Service" or "Contemporary Funeral Service", this arrangement allows for paying last respects in a more informal manner. For example, an individual may choose to hold a contemporay Memorial Gathering rather than a more formal "traditional" visitation. This can be anything from a small gathering of family and close friends, to a larger community-style gathering. During a Contemporay Memorial Gathering, there are few, if any, scheduled events. Instead, eulogies, poems, or memories can be offered by friends or family at will, music or favorite songs can be played as appropriate and personal mementos, videos, or photographs can be communally shared. The gathering can take place in the funeral home, at the gravesite or place of interment or in a private home or other place of special neaning. Families my choose to include an opn or closed casket, or place the urn in an informal gathering. Our Funeral Directors have experience in coordinating and arranging all the detalis necessary to make Non -Traditional Service a meaningful and lasting memorial.
