Signs of Approaching Death

When the death of a family member or friend is imminent, emotions are strong; confused and disorganized thinking can be the order the day. Our guidelines and helpful hints can help bring a sense of order.

Organ & Tissue Donations

Are you or a loved one considering organ donation? Our list of common questions will help in making that decision. We also invite you to speak with our knowledgeable staff.

Who to Call First

No one is fully prepared for the death of a loved one. Even when anticipated due to illness, when the moment comes, who should you call? Our guidelines will help.

Family Emergency

The phrase "family emergency" can send chills down your spine. After all, we're rarely prepared for one, are we? This is especially true when a loved one dies; what should you know in order to survive this trying time? Our candid answers can help.

Writing an Obituary

An obituary serves as notification that an individual has died and provides service details. But it can be for more than that. Our guidelines will help you in writing a well-crafted obituary.

Eulogies

Writing and delivering a eulogy is a way of paying tribute to a loved one's memory. But it can be a challenge to write and to deliver. Our tips can help.

Funeral Etiquette

Unless you've been to many funerals, we're sure you have questions about what you should wear, say, or do while there. We've got the experience, and can give you the right information.

Very few people are comfortable with the language of funeral service. If you question the meaning of funeral terms like "cremation" or "embalming"; or want to know more about "burial" or "visitation", you'll enjoy reading the information found within this section of our website.
