Memorial Tributes

We can help you to personalize your loved one's funeral or memorial service.  Whether it is a dove or balloon release, a horse drawn carriage, a special musician such as a harpist or a bagpaper, we can arrange the perfect last image to a life well lived.

		Balloon Release Either a single balloon, or one for everyone gathered.  Any color combination of helium filled, latex balloons.

Dove Release Release presentations include a decorative display cage of the white doves, as well as a wicker basket for the single bird release.  A white dove is a symbol of peace, hope, and remembrance.  It is a lasting memory for all present.

		DNA Storage Preserve an important piece of genetic history.  We can help you and your family reveal valuable medical information.

Horse Drawn Coach or Caisson An elegant and dignified tribute to take your loved one to their final resting place.  The glass sided funeral coach is pulled by a magnificent team of either white or black horses and guided by groomsmen in top hats.

		Memorial Portraits From a snapshot, we can create an enlargement or we can have a formal portrait made that looks like it was painted.

Memorial Space Flight Space.  The final frontier.  Now it is possible to have a small amount of your loved one's cremated remains launched into orbit.  Relatives and friends are invited to pre-launch briefings and a Memorial Service is conducted on the day before the launch.  On launch day, a viewing site is established.  Attendance at the launch is encouraged, but the costs of travel, lodging, and incidentals are the responsibility of the attendees.

		Memory Display Table Similar to a picture board, we can help you set up and arrange a display of your loved one's favorite items.  You can bring collections, framed pictures, craft items that were lovingly made or other tributes to share with your friends and family.

Memory Picture Board These lightweight felt boards are designed to attach photos and other mementos for display at services.  Afterwards, you are welcome to keep your creation for as long as you would like.

		Military Honors Every honorable discharged veteran who has served during war time is entitled to honors by representatives of the active duty military.  The representatives will ceremonially fold the flag, play taps, and present the flag to the family. (NOTE:  a military discharge must be presented at least 48 hours prior to requested service time to be eligible).  A firing squad and additional honors by a local American Legion or V.F.W. may be available upon request.

Flag Cases Each of these flag cases are handmade from solid wood crafted by skilled artisans.  There are several styles to choose from and are made in Walnut, Cherry, and Oak.  Display cases for military medals, patches, and pins are also available.

		Motorcycle Hearse If the open road was your loved one's passion, this is the way to offer a final ride of remembrance.

		Rock and Tree Memorials These manufactured landscape items are actually designed to be a memorial to a loved one.  Each piece is created with a hidden compartment to hold cremated remains that can be buried in one's backyard. A bronze plaque is included.  The item blends well with the environment and can be moved if the family relocates.

Sea Scattering Provided by licensed skippers, you and your family are transported from the dock out to the ocean, where a ceremony is performed and your loved one's cremated remains are released to the sea.  This service is also available to honorably discharged Naval Veterans through the US Navy.  These ceremonies are preformed from a Navy vessel.

		Special Music A lone piper is available for a traditional cemetery send off. Additional solo players are available on trumpet, banjo, sitar, accordion, celtic or classical harp, fiddle, flamenco or classical guitar, or any other instrument you may desire.  Or, if you prefer, we can arrange for pipe & drum combos;  a swing band; or a brass or string quartet.
