Burial Services
Funeral Services
A funeral represents a purposeful opportunity to reflect on the meaning of a life that has touched others and to determine the impact of that meaning for the family and friends. There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you. As you participate in the planning of the funeral service, you help create a meaningful experience for everyone.
It is the goal of Beecher & Bennett to help people complete the relationship with the one who has died and to provide a climate that encourages each person to give and receive emotional support. During the funeral service, family and friends have the opportunity to relate to each other at the deepest levels and find mutual strength.
A funeral reflects on the life that has been lived. We know there is one “one-size-fits-all” service—that’s why we offer multiple options to fit your beliefs and budget. Choose from a complete funeral with a public viewing, service and burial or opt for a simple graveside service. With any option, our staff is here to help you create a celebration or memorial tribute as unique as the life being honored.
Complete Funeral Service
Traditionally, the funeral will be a Complete Funeral Service. This includes a family or public viewing of the deceased. Following this will be a service, typically in the church or at the funeral home, or even at a unique venue.
When you choose Beecher & Bennett, you have the freedom to use your creative ideas, and our experience having helped others, to ensure the services we create are unique and exactly what you want.
After a service, no matter what it looks like, or where it is held, it would be followed by the earth or above ground burial of the casketed remains. We offer a wide variety of caskets across all prices ranges.
Many cemeteries require that a minimum grave liner be used to encase the casket when earth buried. These minimum liners are constructed of concrete and are designed to hold the weight of the earth, maintaining the cemetery property. A sealed vault may also be used. The vaults are also constructed of concrete and are designed to not only protect the gravesite, but are manufactured with inner liners that not only restrict the entrance of graveside elements (water and earth) but increase the strength of the vault.
We are familiar with all the area cemeteries, so we can help you understand any local regulations and details.
Graveside Service
The Graveside Service can be another selection. Sometimes this follows a time of visitation at the funeral home, and may even follow a memorial service at a church. The casket would then be transferred to the cemetery where a graveside ceremony could take place followed by the burial. You have the freedom to choose whether a graveside ceremony is right for you.
