New Traditions are really an oxymoron, right? (a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction)

Traditions are communications of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on in this way. So the thought of starting a tradition is unorthodox... But, they have to start sometime. In an age of technology and a demanding public, Funeral Service is not immune.

Traditions are sometimes a result of a culture change.
***Funerals used to all take place inside the home, now it's a rare occasion.

Traditions also developed with advancements in technology.
***Cremation is a good example of how technology has changed funeral service.

And sometimes, traditions are formed out of necessity to the current situation...
*** Flowers sent to funerals started before the art of embalming to mask any odors

Whether new traditions are formed from choice, technology or obligation, some will become traditions treasured for generations to come, and some may not. We are honored to offer new services and merchandise to families.

Video Tributes are created with almost each family we serve. These slideshows capture the life of a loved one thru the years and serve as a family heirloom for years to come.
