Our Services
It doesn't matter how you honor them, just that you do.
A funeral or memorial service is an important part of grieving, and often the painful and first step in the healing process. For thousands of years, funerals have been the preferred means of expressing grief and paying tribute to loved ones. It is truly a celebration of a life lived and remembered.
The Symonds family knows, that when dealing with loss and grief there is no single solution that meets the needs of every individual, but we will strive to ease the process as much as possible for you and your family. The type of service chosen is largely based on the personal preferences of both the survivors and the deceased. The most important task is that you acknowledge the passing of your loved one in a way that is meaningful and helpful in your healing, and that you realize you are not alone. The Symonds family and staff are trained to help you through this difficult time.
A funeral service that is both meaningful and memorable should be as unique as the individual being remembered; it can reflect their personal values, interests and experiences. While planning a funeral service requires making many decisions during a difficult time, you want to organize an event that honors and highlights your loved one
Funeral Services
A funeral service is a special time for family and friends to comfort one another, begin to find healing and celebrate a life well lived. Whether you choose burial or cremation, you can hold a funeral service to honor your loved one. We are happy to provide a traditional funeral or something completely unique. Many cultures and religions have special funeral traditions and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. This is a moment for you and your family and we are honored to help you in any way that we can.
Memorial Services
Just like a funeral service, a memorial service is a time to remember your loved one. This can be held shortly after death or weeks later, with or without an urn present. What’s important is that it creates a time and a place for family and friends to gather together and support one another, share memories and pay their respects. We can hold a memorial service at our funeral home, the final resting place or at your home.
Burial
A casket burial is a traditional service and there are many options you can choose from. We can provide an immediate burial without a public service; a visitation, viewing or wake with a closed or open casket; a funeral service at our funeral home, church or private home and a graveside service at a cemetery. You can choose whether you’d like a public or private service or a combination. It is entirely up to you how you wish to pay your respects.
Cremation
Cremation has become a popular option for many people because it can be more flexible as to where and when you hold a service. You can have a traditional funeral service before a cremation or a memorial service at any time with or without the urn present. You can keep the urn, scatter the ashes or have the urn buried in a grave or columbarium where we can hold a service. Whether you choose burial or cremation, we’re here to offer you a meaningful ceremony.
