Traditional Funerals
A traditional service for burial, entombment or cremation, is usually the service of choice. At Markwell & Son Funeral Home we believe in the traditional funeral, because it best serves the needs of family and friends.
The traditional funeral service may be the following:
- Casket
- Transfer of the deceased to the funeral home
- Embalming
- Dressing, cosmetology and other care of the deceased
- Professional support and administrative staff assistance
- Use of visitation rooms
- General use of the facilities for the service and arrangements
- Funeral service
- Use of funeral coach
- Limousine (by family request)
- Utility car
- Register book
- Acknowledgment cards
- Memorial folders or prayer cards
The traditional service is a meaningful expression for the family, and it gives friends and associates an opportunity to offer their tributes in the way of flowers or memorials to churches or organizations.
Generally, a member of the clergy or other person chosen by the family conducts a service of remembrance. We encourage the active participation of the family in helping plan this part of the service. Many times family members take part by giving a reading, singing or assisting the clergy.
If the ceremony is held in a church, there is no additional charge. Nor is there an additional charge for arranging and conducting fraternal services.
