Planning a funeral service can be a very difficult process for families who have just lost a loved one. But it's important to provide those who are grieving with a supportive environment in which they can begin to find closure, say goodbye, and come to terms with the loss.
Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to connect, share memories, offer words of sympathy, and create a lasting network of comfort and support as they start the journey toward healing.Immediate burial means that your loved one will be buried or entombed without a public service or gathering.

Wouldn’t recommend at all, very unprofessional and ill-mannered when it comes to finances, I was 12 years old when my father passed and had just bought him a shirt for father’s day, they refused to take the shirt he passed away in off of him (just got it wanted it as a memory) and had me in tears without apology. My mother who was grieving the loss of her spouse was harassed about money and were told we couldn’t have him back until everything was paid, just plain disrespect from everyone involved here, but I do highly suggest Drury’s.

Horrible experience at the funeral of my dear grandmother. Incredibly unprofessional, underprepared and complete lack of overall decorum. After the family paid for a service to have the funeral and burial recorded, a staff member filmed it on his CELLPHONE. This is a company who chose to record a funeral on a cellphone. Completely disrespectful and distasteful.There was no audio, over 178 people had zero audio. No effort was made to fix audio, other then to tell us “ we hadvolume all the way up.” The staff recording, Jeff, had to be asked several times to stop shaking the camera. At
