Funeral Services

We will assist your family in planning a funeral and choosing the options that suit your families needs and your loved ones wishes. We are able to assist you in holding services in a wide variety of areas. From our chapel, to your church or at the cemetery we are able to prepare a meaningful service to honor your loved one. We will listen to your family and help to arrange a celebration of your loved one's life through whatever means you choose.

In addition to funeral services our staff also provides the following services.

Pre-Planning

There are many advantages to planning a funeral ahead of time. By pre-planning a funeral, difficult decisions will not have to be made during a time of grieving and stress. You will be able to visit a potential resting site and have time to decide on and compare options. Your wishes can be put into writing to give your family direction when the time for the funeral comes. Our staff will help you plan so that your family can carry out your wishes.

Online Memorials

We can set up an online memorial for your loved one. Our online memorials provide information for guests about the funeral services and also provide a tribute to your loved one. Guests will be able to gain information about dates, times and locations of funeral services. Guests will also be able to order flowers, make donations and sign a guest book through the memorial.

Obituaries

We will prepare an obituary to be published for your loved one.
We will submit the obituary in any number of publications you choose.
The County papers, The Journal Democrat and The Spencer County Leader have no charge to publish an obituary.  The Evansville Courier and the Owensboro Messenger have free obituaries but they are limited to basic information.  If you desire more than the basic information for the obituary there will be a charge for the Courier or Messenger.
 

Veteran's Benefits

We will help you secure your potential veterans benefits, such as a burial flag, government marker, memorial certificate and a burial plot.  Spencer County will pay  $ 100.00 toward the burial of a Veteran.  They also pay the expense to have the goverment marker installed.

Social Security

We will notify the Social Security Administration of the death. We will explain and help you apply for any benefits you may be entitled to through Social Security.

Death Certificates

We will help you in obtaining a death certificate which is important for insurance purposes as well a host of other issues.

After Care

Sometimes the loss of a loved one can be especially painful. We understand that the grieving process does not end with the funeral. We are here not only to help arrange the funeral, but to help families cope with the loss of their loved one. There are a wide variety of grief resources available and we will help to point you in the right direction and begin the healing process.
