NOTE: Do not add if you are adding a celebration of life to your burial services. If you plan a public viewing, please select EMBALMING SERVICES and CELEBRATION OF LIFE instead. This service is intended for families who planning a simple, direct burial and are not having a public viewing.
 
Sometimes the family would like to pay their final respects prior to the cremation or burial taking place.
 
For cremation, this can be achieved without the purchase of a casket, if desired.  These visitations take place at our facilities during our regular office hours for thirty minutes. For most families, thirty minutes is enough time for the viewing. If more time is needed, additional time can be added for $95/hour
 
Our staff will complete a minimal preparation, including topical disinfection, eye and mouth closure etc., dress the indivudual with family provided clothing, apply cosmetics if necessary, and place them into a solid oak rental casket.
 
In most cases, embalming is not required. Embalming services are provided on a not-for-profit basis and are only encouraged when absolutely necessary.
