Customize Your Funeral and Cremation in Lynchburg, VA

Browse through these options for making your funeral or memorial service your own:

  • Funeral Service: Are you interested in a full-service funeral? Or would you like to keep it simple and affordable by choosing immediate burial? A full-service funeral can be a weekend full of events. Start with a viewing or a visitation, where you can choose to open the casket and let family and friends get up close and personal with the deceased. The funeral service comes next with speakers and musical numbers. After comes the graveside ceremony at the burial site. And finally, the reception ends the funeral affairs with good food and great company. Full-service funerals are satisfying and eventful. But you don’t have to go all out. Immediate burials are also available if you would like to lay your loved one to rest with a few people at the burial site.
  • Cremation Service: Direct cremation is the most affordable cremation option, without a funeral. Many people choose this budget-friendly option and hold a private scattering of the ashes in their own time. A cremation with a memorial ceremony is an upgraded option if you would like to plan an event for friends near and far to travel and attend. Memorials can be held weeks after the death if that is more convenient for the family.
  • Life Celebrations: Throw a more casual event in honor of your loved one with food, music, dancing, a chance to share stories and memories, and hobbies on display. Your end-of-life service has no rules on how it has to look. Instead, you can decide what best reflects the life of your loved one.
  • Veteran Services: Let our funeral home know if the deceased served our country. We can help secure veteran and military benefits for the end-of-life service. We can also implement military honors[NC1]  and veteran services into the program as you wish.
  • Grief Therapy Dog on Staff: Our Sheepadoodle, Maggie, is on-site to help you through the grieving process. It can be healing to pet a friendly dog and bring a smile to your face amidst challenging times. Maggie comes out upon request and does not disrupt the service if you do not want her there. In addition, other grief services are available to help you navigate the unknown territory of mourning.
  • Permanent Memorialization: Custom Printing for programs, tributes, monuments, grave markers, etc., can be done through our funeral home. Skip the extra costs of hiring third-party customization. Instead, let our team take care of your special requests for permanent memorialization.
  • Mobile Arrangements: Use our online planning tool for your funeral planning. Make all the arrangements from the comfort of your own home. You can bet that our funeral planning team will catch anything that is not included in your online plans and take it from there.
  • Pet Cremation and Pet Burial: We know how vital a family pet is to the family’s memories. Honor the life of your pet through pet cremation or pet burial. We can arrange pet funeral services so that your animal gets the goodbye they deserve.
