Monuments
Monument Sales
The selection of a final memorial takes time. We offer one of the area's largest selections of monuments, markers, and private mausoleums. We have an onsite display area which will help you determine what style and size of memorial is best for you. We offer a variety of granite colors. Our bronze memorials and private crypts are of the finest quality and are priced far below what most memorial parks sell them for. Our directors have years of experience in assisting families with this decision. Unlike sales based organizations, our directors receive no commission for working with you.

Flowers
Our staff can assist with floral tributes from family and friends. A wide variety of selections are available that can be displayed at the service, ceremony or visitation. A list of local florist's are provided on the welcome page of our website.
Symbolic Meanings of Flowers

- Ivy — “Wedded love, fidelity”

- Rose — “Love”
- Tulip — “Declaration of love”

When ordering your floral tribute, tell the florist about the person you are honoring and he or she will help you create a meaningful and memorable arrangement.
Types of Sympathy Floral Arrangements
While anything is possible when it comes to floral arrangements, florists commonly use the following designs for sympathy arrangements.
- A casket spray (sometimes known as a casket blanket or cover) is the arrangement placed on the top of the casket. The family closest to the deceased usually purchases it.
- A spray is the most common arrangement ordered. The flowers are designed for viewing from one side only. Sprays can vary in shape and size and are usually displayed on an easel.
- An inside piece (sometimes known as an insert piece) is the term used to describe the small floral designs placed inside the casket (for example, pillows, hearts or small bouquets). Close family members or special loved ones usually order this type of arrangement. Ask the family before ordering anything for the caskets
- A wreath is circular in design and considered by many to symbolize eternal life.
- A floral arrangement is a mix of fresh flowers in a vase, basket or other container.
- Other floral designs can represent an organizational tribute (for example, a Masonic lodge) or a religious tribute (for example, a cross). Heart-shaped designs are also quite popular.
- Plants are longer lasting tributes that the family will keep after the service.
Our cremation urns are made from a variety of materials, many of which can be personalized. Unlike selections often found elsewhere, we constantly make sure that we have a large selection of modestly priced quality urns.
No two families are alike. While some families want the minimum allowed container for the body to be cremated in, others prefer something more substantial. Recognizing this difference, we offer your family several choices at several different price points.
Keepsake items are becoming more and more popular. They allow the family to keep some of the cremains separate from the final place of disposition. They also allow several family members to have a keepsake memorial. We have a wide variety of these items available to the families who call us.
