Floral Sprays

These are the more traditional arrangements. They can provide a symbolic tribute at the funeral. Typically, ghese arrangements are sent from the closest family members, but there are exceptions

Floral Baskets

A common and affordable style of arrangement, the basket arrangement allows for a wide variety of designs. Depending on the quality and quantity of flowers used, these arrangements can be designed in very affordable settings or professionally designed to provide a stunning arrangement for a special tribute to the deceased.

Table Arrangements

These arrangements are becoming very popular. Thanks to their smaller size, these arrangements offer an affordable show of sympathy to the surviving family. Their style allows them to be used in any setting after the funeral.

Plant Arrangements

Plant arrangements are commonly sent to the funeral home with the purpose of having the family or close friends take the arrangement back home after the funeral to be enjoyed for an extended period of time. The movement away from the "funeral look" can provide a comforting presence back at the family home.

Wooden Caskets

Handcrafted like fine furniture, each wooden casket has it's own unique graining pattern. The natural warmth and beauty of wood is available in a variety of types and species. The interior material of a wood casket is typically either velvet or crepe. The classification "hardwood" simply means that the wood comes from a leaf-bearing tree. "Softwood" comes from the needle or cone-bearing trees. Therefore, designation as a hardwood is not determined solely by the consistency or surface hardness of the wood itself, but the species of the tree from which it came. Cost can vary depending on whether the sides of the casket are constructed from solid wood or a veneering process has been utilized.

Metal Caskets

The majority of metal caskets available on the market today are known as "protective" caskets. This terminology reflects that they are manufactured with a one-piece rubber gasket that runs around the inner lid of the casket. Once closed, a locking mechanism draws the lids unto the base and the gasket forms a seal. This protective seal protects the deceased from the entrance of air and other graveside elements. Much higher quality metal caskets utilize a sophisticated magnesium rust inhibitor process. Metal caskets are commonly manufactured in 20, 18 and 16 gauge metals. Interiors are tastefully coordinated in a variety of materials from crepe to velvet, allowing for a range of pricing to meet a wide variety of budget concerns.

STAINLESS STEEL CASKETS

The discovery of Chromium in the mountains of Russia in the late 1700s led to the development of the alloy we now know as stainless steel. Stainless steel is a rust resistant material and is available today in the manufacturig process of high quality metal caskets. Most stainless steel caskets feature high quality velvet interiors and beautiful paint and brushed finishes.

RENTAL CASKETS

Families are increasingly requesting to rent a casket. To facilitate this request, we offer a casket designed to allow for this service. The casket is a specially crafted unit that facilitates an inner simple container to hold the body. The casket itself acts as a "shelf around this container, making it suitable for public visitation and viewing. After the funeral service, the funeral director removes the inner container from the outer casket shell. The inner container holding the body is then transported to the place of final dispositon, usually a crematorium. The outer casket is reused for a number of services. Eventually the casket reaches a point of wear and it is destroyed. Because its usage is limited, the rental casket is replaced after a relatively small number of uses. However, due to the reusable nature of these units, they can be also appreciated by families with environmental concerns.

Wood Urns

Wood Urns are unique in just about every imaginable way, and that’s what makes them perfect for memorializing any unique personality. Wood cremation urns are available in a wide variety of designs made from many different types of woods, and they are available for a huge number of memorial purposes, ranging from indoor displays to burial in an environmentally-friendly grave intended to be biodegradable. The manufacturing processes used to create wood urns are also the most varied of any type of urn, and that is what makes wood urns, perhaps, the most unique of all cremation urns. Wood cremation urns are often made from hand, for example, but beautiful pieces are also carved by machine and then hand finished

Ceramic Urns

Ceramic urns are made according to ancient techniques that, in many ways, have changed very little over the years. Their method of production is just one way in which ceramic urns represent eternal unity. The other is their overall style. Many modern artists who design and make ceramic urns follow the traditions and styles use by cultures of yesteryear. While ceramic pottery, in general, has a huge variety of uses, it is ceramic urns – with their practical connection to death by playing host to human ashes – that, perhaps, best unite ceramic art to the rest of humanity – past and present. People whose ashes are stored in ceramic pottery can are participating in an age-old human tradition (ceramic urns have been, for centuries, one of the most common products of ceramic art), but, because ceramic urns are still among the most sturdy urns available, the people who they memorialize will be remembered for centuries.
