Planning Ahead

Funeral arrangements are personal and special for each family. Simply let us know of your personal preferences and wishes regarding the funeral service when you visit with us.

At the time of an actual funeral, most decisions need to be made within a few hours. By pre-planning the funeral, you can take your time and make the decisions in an un-hurried and thoughtful manner.

You will relieve your family of the burden, and it offers you the opportunity to let your family know your wishes.

For the same reasons that you write a will, make retirement plans or buy life insurance, it is a good idea to plan for the future and make funeral plans. You can select the type of service you would like and how much you would like to spend. By paying for the service ahead of time, you can be assured that the funds will be there at the time of the funeral.

We encourage you to discuss with your families the decisions that are important to you. And then share those decisions with us at Carpenter Memorial Chapel.

Funeral Services

Our entire staff strives to provide dignified, professional and personalized service. Our funeral home is family owned and operated. We strive to help every family personalize their service to appropriately honor their loved one.

When a death occurs, there are details that need to be taken care of. There are decisions and arrangements to be made. Our professional licensed funeral directors assume those responsibilities for you. You can depend on us to provide a service that is truly memorable, flawlessly planned, and correct to the smallest detail.

We believe that no two people are alike – funerals should be highly individual and highly personal.

Perhaps the most important part of our service is in making a funeral a personalized, meaningful celebration of the life that has been lived. Services are available from dignified simplicity to formalities of choice, where in a church or religious institution, the chapel at Carpenter Memorial Chapel or by the graveside. When cremation is requested, this preference always includes opportunities for religious rites, memorial celebration, memorial reception and other choices. We also offer personalized folders, video tributes, digital pictures of floral tributes and other services.

Cremation

We offer cremation options from a direct cremation with no viewing, visitation or religious rites to a full service funeral. The full service funeral may include a public or private wake or a religious service followed by cremation. There are many options and choices in planning a service with cremation.

As with a traditional funeral, cremation services can be personalized in many of the same ways. Personal items can be displayed at the visitation, as well as personalized caskets and urns. We would be happy to discuss any special request or ideas that you have to make the service more meaningful. As with any funeral, arrangements can be as individual as the people involved.
