Funeral Planning Report

Family and friends getting together to honor a loved one's life is one of the most important steps in the grieving and healing process. You may opt to have a traditional religious or military service, or as more and more people are doing, you can choose to have a non-traditional 'life celebration'.

When Death Occurs Report

No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering.

Burial Services Report

Traditionally, a burial service involves a visitation, followed by a funeral service in a church, or other place of worship. The casket is typically present at both these events, and it is your decision on whether to have the casket open or not. You have the option of having the remains interred (earth burial), or it may be entombed in a crypt inside a mausoleum (above ground burial).

Eulogies and Obituaries Report

Giving a meaningful, moving eulogy can be a nerve-wracking situation for even the most accomplished public speaker, but it need not be. How can you summarize somebody's life in a few short minutes, while being both somber and funny at the same time? Writing and delivering a eulogy is a therapeutic tool to help deal with your grief, and being chosen to give a eulogy is an honor and should be treated that way.

Funeral Etiquette Report

Like everything in society, funeral etiquette and what is expected of you has evolved over time. As always common sense and good discretion is the best guide to proper funeral etiquette. Here are a few do's and dont's of funeral etiquette. Express your condolences - It's not easy to come up with the words to offer sympathy to someone who has just lost a loved one.

Report

Kevin and his daughter were absolutely amazing at Allison funeral home during the most difficult time in my family's life. Kevin made us feel like family in his family owned business.
They were compassionate, understanding, very flexible and knowledgeable. They offered several options and were very clear every step of the way. I'm so happy that we chose Allison funeral home, they provided us much needed comfort at a difficult time.
Thank you so much Allison family, I will be sure to share my positive experience with others.
