Honouring Your Loved One
Funeral planning can get overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Our staff is here to support you and help you through your grief journey while honouring your loved one. To help you get started, below is some helpful information, but please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Burial Services
Depending on your personal preferences, there are several services to choose from for a loved one’s burial:
-
For an immediate burial, your loved one will be buried or entombed without a public service or gathering.
-
A visitation, also called a viewing, calling hours, or wake, lets everyone gather in a room with their loved one in an open or closed casket to say goodbye and comfort the bereaved.
-
Funeral or memorial services can be held at a funeral home, church, or even your home. The service is for celebrating and honouring your loved one’s life. Both visitation and service can be personalized to your loved one’s passions.
-
Graveside, chapel, or committal services take place at the cemetery. This allows everyone to be present as their loved one is transferred to his or her final resting place through ground burial.
Cremation Services
When cremation is to take place, we recommend a viewing and funeral service to honour your loved one’s life. After the cremation and services, there are several options for your loved one’s final disposition:
-
Interment is when you bury or entomb your loved one's cremated remains. This can be in a family plot, memorial site, cremation niche or urn garden, or other indoor and outdoor locations. Please reach out to our staff for a detailed list of interment options.
-
Graveside cremation services are similar to traditional ground burials, as everyone is at the burial of the cremated remains and honour your loved one through other meaningful tributes.
-
Scattering is when you spread your loved one's cremated remains in a memorial garden, cemetery, over water, or another significant location. You also can choose to scatter some of the cremated remains and retain the rest in an urn for interment or another form of disposition.
-
By placing cremated remains in multiple urns, family members who live in different locations can each have their loved one's final resting place close to them.
