All too often, families discount the value of a ceremony after the death of a loved one. In the depth of early grief, it might seem easier to take care of funeral arrangements as simply and quickly as possible. However, coming together after a loss is a very essential part of the grieving process that gives your family and friends the opportunity to start the healing process. Designing a meaningful service is a significant way to honor and celebrate the life of your loved one.

Gathering with friends and family after a loss gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. A funeral or memorial service, whether traditional or contemporary, formal or relaxed, is the first step in healing. We can help you create a unique, meaningful ceremony to express the genuine individuality of your loved one.
Plan your service anywhere and any way you want with a comprehensive selection of customizable elements, including:
Place of celebration
Date and time
Musical selection
Prayers
Songs
We can arrange to have doves, butterflies, or balloons released at the close of the service. Keepsake gifts of wildflower seeds or a tree seedling can be given. We’re here to help you create the most memorable and meaningful service to honor your loved one and make a difference in the lives of all who attend.
Funeral Services
When the important ceremonial decisions are made, we’ll turn to the issue of how you wish to care for the physical remains by having you choose between burial and cremation. You may have already decided or your loved one may have communicated exactly how they wish to be cared for. For those who are unsure, we are able to help you come to the perfect decision for your loved one and for you.

If cremation has been chosen , the next decision is whether the cremated remains will be placed in a mausoleum niche or buried on the cemetery grounds.
Cremation only refers to the manner in which you or your loved one has chosen to deal with the physical remains. We want you to know that this decision doesn’t limit the ways you can honor your loved one's life. The options for a memorial ceremony are limited only by your imagination. We hope that you will contact us to discuss the wide variety of celebratory options open to you. Loose Funeral Home is also the only funeral home in Madison County with an on-site crematory. Your loved one will never have to be transported to another location.
