General Info:
At Heath-Griffith we realize the most difficult time in life is having to face the loss of a loved one. Our goal is to make certain that every final detail is taken care of in a dignified, professional and compassionate manner. At Heath-Griffith we treat every family as if they are OUR family.
A funeral service gives family and friends an opportunity to pay tribute and remember the life of a loved one. At Heath-Griffith we help you celebrate their life and memory and hope that this will comfort you in your time of grief.
We maintain a tradition of personal attention to our families' needs and individual desires. Whether choosing a traditional burial or cremation, we will help you create a perfect memorial that will reflect the individuality of your loved one. Our funeral directors offer guidance & address your questions and concerns about the funeral process during a most difficult time. Don't be afraid to ask us a lot of questions to be sure you know your options and understand the process. Many details have to be considered, and decisions made, in arranging a service, whether at the time of need or in advance. We at Heath Griffith want to make it easier for you by providing helpful information.
There are many funeral service options available to families who select burial as the final disposition of their loved one. A traditional funeral service consists of a time for a private or public viewing of the deceased, a funeral service to remember and honor them, followed by a procession to the cemetery for a graveside ceremony to formally say goodbye. There are numerous variations by which to specifically tailor a funeral service to respect the wishes of your loved one and your family.
How are cremation services different from burial services? They are not necessarily. Services with cremation are the same as with earth burial, unless you prefer something different. You can have viewing and visitation arrangements, with an open or closed casket, or no casket at all, for as long or as short a period as you wish. Whatever you choose – casket and burial or cremation - family and friends need time to grieve and to say good-bye.
More and more people are realizing the thoughtfulness and practicality of planning their funerals in advance. We have two pre-planning options available to make a difficult time easier for your family.
