Burial Services
Our services are tailored to your needs!
We believe strongly in helping families choose the right service options at an affordable price. Our healing services offer families experiencing grief a choice on how they want to memorialize their loved one.
Visitation
This time is set aside for family and friends to gather together to say goodbye, while being in the comfort of those closest to them. The casket may be open or closed at the family's preference. We can personalize the visitation to be as unique as your loved one with our "magic wall" setting, a unique setting, tribute video playing, items on display that were important to your loved one, or simply pictures displayed on a memorial table. We will work with your family to design the perfect gathering experience. Utilizing memorable moments such as water ceremonies, candlelight ceremonies, religious ceremonies, etc.
Rosary or Testimony Hour
The recitation of the Rosary, which lasts about twenty minutes, may be led by a family member or, if desired, by the Priest, Deacon, or Pastor’s designee. The Rosary is particularly appropriate when the deceased had a devotion to praying it.
Testimony Hour includes prayer, scripture readings, songs, and other practices that the family wishes to participate in. During this hour, family members or friends may also speak in remembrance of the deceased.
Overnight Vigil
Young's Daughters Funeral Home is the only Funeral Home that offers overnight vigils that allow you to stay with your deceased loved one in our chapel and allows for food in the community rooms overnight. Many service members, police, fire and other fraternity groups gather overnight to ensure their comrades are never left alone. If this is your need then you have selected the right home for you.
Funeral Service
The funeral service can be held in our Kaverly Chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants who lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
Committal or a Graveside Service
A graveside is the only location where your family will gather outside at a cemetery, garden, or waterfront to commemorate the loved one. Our committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service. Typically, at a graveside, you will see a tent and chairs set up with the pastor or celebrant officiating. You have the choice to watch the lowering of the casket into the earth or leave while the casket is above ground, ensuring your funeral director will conclude the burial process. You may also help close the grave if it is your custom to do so. Music can be played either by our partners listed on the band/musicians, or a recorded version on a speaker system will be played. The flowers from the service are typically placed over the mound of earth covering the casket. A temporary marker is purchased until the appropriate headstone is set, which can take several months.
What is Green Burial?
Green, or Natural Burial, is a way of caring for the deceased with minimal environmental impact that aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emissions, protection of health workers, and the restoration and/or preservation of habitats. Green Burial necessitates the use of non-toxic and biodegradable materials, such as caskets, shrouds, and urns.
