Clothing
A full complement
of clothing is utilized, including undergarments and outer clothes of your
choice. Shoes are not needed. For women, a dress or outfit closed at the
neckline and long sleeves are desirable. For men, a suit or sport coat is
appropriate.
Other Personal Items
Jewelry, eye glasses and religious
items (rosary, medals) may be brought it when the arrangements are made, or
prior to the service. On the day of the funeral, we will confirm which items you
wish to be left in the casket and which are to be removed.
For Cremation
Clothing for cremation would depend
on the extent of the services desired before the cremation process.
We strongly suggest that any personal items
such as jewelry, pictures and other memorabilia be removed prior to cremation
as they will be destroyed during the cremation process. These items may,
instead, be placed into the urn selected after the cremation has taken
place.
Arrangement Appointment Time
To assure availability of one of our directors and to give you the personal
attention and time needed to make the arrangements, please call to schedule a
convenient time. Although the majority of arrangements are conducted during
normal business hours, we are available in the evening and on weekends as
well.
