How We Serve Families
Funeral Services
Traditional funeral services with visitation, a ceremony that reflects your loved one's faith and life, and a dignified procession to the place of rest.
Cremation Services
Respectful, fully licensed cremation care with as much or as little ceremony as your family wishes, including memorial services held before or after.
Direct Cremation
A simple, affordable option without a formal service, allowing families to hold a private gathering at a time and place of their choosing.
Traditional Funeral Service
A full traditional service honoring long-held family and church customs, from visitation through committal.
Memorial Services
A meaningful gathering held without the body present, often after cremation or a private burial.
Graveside Services
An intimate ceremony held entirely at the cemetery, simple and personal.

Common Questions
What should I do when a death occurs?
Call us any hour at (252) 795-3777. If the death occurred at home without hospice, call 911 first. We will come into your area, bring your loved one into our care and guide you through every next step.
How soon do we need to plan the service?
There is no need to rush. Most families meet with us within 24 hours, but we will work with your schedule and with family traveling from out of town.
What information do you need for the death certificate?
Full legal name, date and place of birth, Social Security number, parents' names including mother's maiden name, marital status, education and occupation history.
Is embalming required by law?
No. Embalming is generally required only when there is a public viewing, when a body is transported across state lines, or when the disposition will be delayed.
