New tendencies and opinions of today’s society are
changing the world of funeral services. These days’ families are comfortable with innovative
ideas, in turn leading consumers to seek new experiences, products and services that may
vary from those included in the traditional funeral service. These decisions are centered
from familiarity with the deceased rather than custom and tradition, causing deviation from
product-based services to a more event-based funeral service.
Therefore, personalization is at the heart of today’s funeral services. The new trend
in the funeral industry is an eruption of memorial services that no longer focuses on death,
instead families want to celebrate the life of their deceased loved one. When planning funeral
services families may ask: What made the deceased unique? Was he/she religious? As a result,
families tend to arrange a funeral service to fit their exact needs.
Dee Funeral Home is pleased to accommodate most any request and below is a short list of
the more commonly utilized “alternative” services. Please contact us if you have
any questions or particular needs.
Non-Traditional Burial,
Entombment or Cremation without visitation.
For this type of funeral service, you select
the services and merchandise from several itemized
options.
Private family viewings
are available, but may be subject to time limitations.
Please ask one of our staff about setting up
a private viewing for your family.
A Memorial Service
is the same as a traditional service, except
the body is not present for the visitation or
the funeral. The private family viewing explained
above also applies here.
Traditional Ship-out
allows you to select the type of services and
merchandise for local arrangements and then
the remains are shipped out of town for final
services.
Limited Graveside
Service is designed for those who want
a ground burial or interment of cremains with
a service only at the cemetery. Itemized options
may be selected at the family's discretion.
Limited Family Viewing
with Shipment is designed for those who
want a private family viewing, but no other
visitation prior to shipment of the casketed
remains. Itemized options are also available
to the family.
Ship-in Services
are for those who want remains shipped to Dee
Funeral Home for final services. Itemized options
are available.
Direct Ship-out
is when there is to be no local service and
the remains are to be shipped to a funeral home
out of town.
Although law does not require embalming, embalming may be necessary if you select certain
funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with a viewing. If you do not want embalming,
you have the right to choose an arrangement such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
