Community Funeral Home

Customized caskets or urns: Customized caskets or urns that reflect the interests or personality of the deceased may be a service Community Funeral Home offers. For example, a casket might be painted with a sports team logo, or an urn might be shaped like a musical instrument.

Plan the service: Work with the Community Funeral Home to plan the funeral service, including selecting readings, music, and speakers. Consider any special requests or traditions that the deceased may have wanted.

Memorial jewelry: Some funeral homes offer memorial jewelry that incorporates a small amount of a loved one's ashes or other mementos into a piece of jewelry that can be worn or kept as a keepsake.

Make arrangements: Meet with the Community Funeral Home funeral director to make arrangements for the funeral, including selecting a date and time, choosing a casket or urn, and deciding on any special requests or religious ceremonies.

Embalming and preparation of the body: Prepare the body for viewing, which may involve embalming, dressing, and cosmetology.

DNA preservation: Check with Community Funeral Home about collecting and preserving a small sample of a deceased individual's DNA. This can be used for a range of purposes, including genealogy research, paternity testing, and forensic identification.
