How are traditional funeral services and celebration of life services different? Traditional services include visitation, funeral service, and committal service, while celebration of life services tend to be more personal and intimate. A celebration of life service is typically held after remains have been care for and allow families, friends, and loved ones to gather and share memories.

We know we are in such a giving, caring community, and we are grateful for that. Do you have someone you are giving extra support to today?
