Questions about funerals

  • What is a funeral?

    A funeral is a meaningful gathering where family and friends come together to honor, remember, and say goodbye to someone they love. Whether you choose burial or cremation, it offers a chance to share memories, reflect on a life lived, and find comfort in one another. This time of remembrance plays an important role in the journey toward healing.

  • Is it possible to customize my funeral service?

    Definitely—we encourage personalization. A funeral is a tribute to a unique life, and every celebration should reflect that individuality.


    Our team is here to help you explore all the possibilities to create a service that truly honors your wishes, offering many ways to make it distinctively yours.

  • Can we have a funeral service if we choose cremation?

    Absolutely. Choosing cremation doesn’t restrict how you can honor and celebrate your loved one’s life.


    We can assist in planning a visitation or viewing before the cremation, and we encourage holding a funeral or memorial service. This allows family and friends to gather, say their goodbyes, and start the healing journey together.
