Visitation

A viewing offers a special time for family and friends to come together, say goodbye, and find comfort in one another’s presence. We can help personalize the visitation to reflect your loved one’s unique life, incorporating tribute videos, photos, and meaningful mementos. Our team will work closely with your family to create a warm, thoughtful gathering that honors your loved one in a way that feels truly personal.

Funeral Service

Funeral services can be held in our chapel, a church, or any location that holds meaning for your family. We work closely with you to design a service that truly reflects your loved one’s life, incorporating stories, music, scripture, or other personal touches. For families who choose not to involve clergy, our funeral directors are available to lead the service. They are specially trained to create meaningful, healing experiences that honor your loved one’s memory and support your journey through grief.

Graveside

A graveside or committal service is usually held immediately after the funeral and offers a meaningful moment of closure. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a larger group of family and friends, this service can be tailored to reflect what feels most personal and fitting for your loved one.

Green Burials

Also called a natural burial, a green burial is an environmentally-friendly interment that involves fewer traditional steps in the preparation of the body and in the caring for the dead in order to have as little impact on the earth as possible. Opting for a green burial aids in the reduction of carbon emissions and the conservation of natural resources by necessitating the use of biodegradable and non-toxic materials, which includes shrouds, caskets, and urns. 


‘Going green’ may sound like a new concept, however, the process of preparing and burying the body was very similar to what we call a green funeral today. 


Below are the main considerations in a green burial:

  • The safeguarding of the environment
  • The protection of the worker’s health
  • The conservation of our natural resources


At Plummer Funeral Home, LLC, we understand that many people today are interested in going green and in protecting the environment. Having a green burial for your loved one is a natural way to do just that. We offer our families the opportunity to choose how to celebrate their loved one’s life. 


We offer this eco-friendly option for families who wish to leave a smaller carbon footprint than what can be normally achieved. We can arrange for:

  • A green burial with or without viewing, which can be followed by a memorial service
  • An immediate burial with or without a ceremony or viewing (memorial at a later date optional for the family)
