You choose the location
You Choose The Location
1. You choose the location
Because we don’t have an on‑site chapel, families aren’t limited to a room that feels generic or too formal.
Most families choose:
- a church
- a home
- a park or outdoor space
- a community center
- a rented event venue
- a restaurant or private room
- a graveside
- a place that meant something to the person
You’re not locked into a funeral home schedule or space.
You choose the location that feels right.
2. What we do — and what we don’t
What we do
We handle:
- care of your loved one
- paperwork and permits
- transportation of your loved one to the cemetery or crematory
- coordination with clergy or officiants if you ask us to connect you
- providing obituary guidance
- providing general advice on what families commonly include in services
- making sure the practical side is handled so you can focus on the gathering
What we don’t do
We do not:
- host services at our facility
- provide a chapel or visitation room
- plan the ceremony content (music, readings, speakers, order of service)
- coordinate or book the venue
- arrange transportation for attendees
- run the event
- act as event planners
Your family or your chosen venue handles the structure and flow of the service.
We support the parts that involve your loved one and the legal process.
3. What a service can look like
Because you’re not tied to a funeral home chapel, services can be:
- traditional
- religious
- non‑religious
- casual
- formal
- indoors
- outdoors
- short
- long
- structured
- completely unstructured
Some families want a full ceremony.
Some want a simple gathering with stories.
Some want a graveside moment.
Some want a meal with close family.
There is no template you’re required to follow.
4. If you want help choosing a location
We can:
- offer suggestions based on what other families have done
- connect you with clergy or officiants if you want one
- explain what different venues typically allow or require
But you choose the place.
You set the tone.
You decide what feels right.
We simply help you understand your options.
5. How we support the service you choose
Even though we don’t host services, we still support the day by:
- ensuring your loved one is prepared according to your plans
- transporting them to the cemetery or crematory
- coordinating arrival times with the cemetery
- making sure all paperwork is complete
- providing any needed items (register book, memorial folders if requested, etc.)
- being available for questions as you plan
We handle the care and the logistics that involve your loved one — not the event production.
6. Why some families choose a service and some don’t
Families choose a service when they want:
- a moment to gather
- a chance to share stories
- a way to honor the person
- a sense of community support
Families skip a service when they want:
- something private
- something simple
- something later
- something at home
- something without structure
Both choices are valid.
If You Remember Nothing Else
Remember this:
A service doesn’t have to happen in a funeral home to be meaningful.
You choose the place.
You choose the style.
We support the parts that involve your loved one — not the event planning.
There is no pressure.
There is no template.
There is only what feels right for your family.
