We provide memorial services that can be held immediately after cremation or at later anniversaries, with or without the urn present.
Transfer Services
Our international transfer services specialize in repatriation to Mexico and Central/South America, including document preparation and consulate coordination. We handle domestic transfers within the US with coordination between funeral homes and airlines. Services include immediate burial transfers without ceremonies or options for vigils before transportation of remains to destination locations.
Veterans' Services
We coordinate US Department of Veterans Affairs benefits including burial in national cemeteries, tombstones, and military funeral honors. Our team assists with flag presentation and documentation for veterans' families. We work with families to ensure proper recognition through the Honoring Those Who Served program for eligible military personnel and their immediate family members.

This service reduces the decision-making burden on families during difficult times and ensures that final wishes are clearly documented and honored.
