We offer any service and merchandise for burial or cremation that you might need while making funeral arrangements at our funeral home. There will be many decisions to make, and it is our goal to help you throughout this process.

You may be wondering whether to opt for a cremation or burial for your loved one. Cremation is chosen for different reasons both religious and personal, as well as practical. A cremation is often less expensive overall than burials, and there are more options for storage and services. Ashes of the loved one may be stored in an urn, or ashes can be scattered in a special place. Since the remains are portable, the options for memorial services are many. For those who opt for cremation, we have a wide selection of urns from which to choose.

For burials, we offer traditional funeral services. This would typically include a visitation, viewing or memorial service at our funeral home in Easton or at a local place of worship and a burial ceremony at a local cemetery on the Eastern Shore. The visitation may either be a closed or open casket, according to your wishes. And although some funeral homes can be overwhelming, we have a beautiful facility for receiving guests and family.

For funeral services with burials, we can help you choose from a variety of caskets. Our caskets come in many different materials and styles from simple to lavish. Choose from different types of wood and finishes, and different gauges of steel. Interiors are offered in a range of many different styles as well. There will certainly be something appropriate for your loved one among our selections.

Of course, funeral arrangements do not have to follow any prescribed process. You can memorialize your loved one in many different ways. We will work with you to put together the perfect combination of services that will honor their memory in the best possible way.
