Immediate Burial

An immediate burial has the same end result as a traditional burial; however, we have eliminated the extra (sometimes unnecessary) services prior to getting to the cemetery.

This option simply allows you to save money by eliminating some of the fancy extras at the funeral home.

Traditional Funeral

We offer the same traditional funeral services as the big corporately owned funeral homes in the area; however, we cost about half the amount.
