Other Personal Items
Jewelry, eye glasses and religious items (rosary, medals) may be brought in 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.

Although the majority of arrangements are conducted during normal business hours, we are available in the evening and on weekends as well.
