Traditional Funerals
We offer traditional funeral services with viewings followed by religious or secular ceremonies. Our team coordinates cemetery processions, provides casket selections from Omega Casket Company, and ensures compliance with cemetery burial vault requirements. Services may include clergy coordination, obituary preparation, and floral arrangements.
Cremation Services
Full-service cremation options include direct cremation, memorial services with urns, and viewings followed by cremation. We provide cremation caskets, urn selections, and assistance with scattering or interment. Documentation and permits are handled per Pennsylvania regulations.
Green Burial
Eco-friendly green burials use biodegradable caskets or shrouds without embalming chemicals. We coordinate with natural burial grounds and offer formaldehyde-free embalming. Our Green Burial Council-certified options support environmental conservation and sustainable practices.
Alkaline Hydrolysis
Alkaline hydrolysis provides an eco-conscious alternative to flame cremation. This process uses water and alkaline chemicals for gentle decomposition. We partner with licensed facilities outside Pennsylvania to offer this service while maintaining ethical standards.
