Online Memorial

Personalized Online Memorials

We can help you create a special online memorial where family and friends can share stories, photos, and memories. It’s a beautiful way to stay connected and celebrate your loved one’s life, even when miles apart.

Video Tributes

Our team can create a heartfelt video tribute using photos you provide. It can be played during the service or shared online, allowing friends and family to reflect on cherished moments. We’ll make sure it captures your loved one’s warmth and personality in a way that feels comforting and true.

Flowers and Comfort

We partner with trusted local florists so families and friends can easily send flowers directly from our website. It’s a simple way to share love and support, even if you can’t be there in person. Visit our flower ordering page.

Sharing Service Details

We understand it can be overwhelming to contact everyone during such a difficult time. That’s why we make it easy to share service information with family and friends. All service details are included on your loved one’s online memorial, so you can share the page on Facebook or by email with just a few clicks. It’s one less thing to worry about and helps ensure that everyone who wishes to attend has the information they need.

Grief Support

Our care continues well beyond the service. We offer complimentary weekly grief support emails for the first year and have additional grief resources available whenever you need them. You do not have to walk this journey alone. We are here to help, one day at a time.
