Funeral and Memorial Services

All too often, families discount the value of ceremony after the death of a loved one, and we certainly don’t want you to make that mistake. Coming together after a loss is a very essential part of the grieving process.

  Create Healing Experiences

  In the depth of early grief, you might think that it would be ‘easier’ to just take care of things as simply – and as quickly –as possible. But easier – especially in this circumstance – simply isn’t better. You must set the stage for the future by giving your family and friends the opportunity to start the healing process.

  Funeral Services

  Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whether you choose burial or cremation; whether you select a formal funeral or a more relaxed memorial service, the need for acknowledgement of the loss with family and friends is ever present. We can help you create a unique meaningful ceremony to express the genuine individuality of your loved one.

  We offer families a beautiful setting in which to come together to honor your loved one. But, you may certainly choose to celebrate their life in a more unique setting. No matter where you decide to gather together, such a service will make a difference in the lives of all who attend.

  Burial Services

  If burial has been selected, usually any ceremonies we design revolve around the casket being present. You can choose to follow tradition, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in a church or memorial chapel. Or you could decide to have a more relaxed service, even in your family home.

  Let’s just say this: there is no ‘hard and fast’ formula for honoring your loved one when burial has been selected. We’re here to listen to your concerns, share our experience, and help you to arrive at the perfect way to gather together before your loved one's interment in the cemetery of your choice.

  Cremation Services

  Since we opened in 2003, we have operated our crematory on the grounds of Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Because we control all aspects of the cremation procedure, you are ensured of the highest standards of ethical care, from our superbly trained and licensed staff. Knowing your loved one never leaves our care will give you that much needed peace-of-mind.

  Choosing cremation does not limit your choices as to honoring your loved one in a ceremony. We can arrange the cremation to occur after a traditional funeral service, or help you to plan for a simple memorial service, held either prior to, or after, the cremation.

  Please call our professional staff at (386) 752-1954, or stop by our offices, to learn more about cremation with Forest Lawn Crematory.

• You Can Never Go Back

  Some say it’s harsh to remind you of this, but we know we must. We want you to honor your loved one in a way that allows you to look back, years from now, and be thankful that you did the best you could to honor their life. Creating a ceremony that calls together the hearts and minds of all who loved them is a gift to everyone involved. A gift of memories, a gift of healing...a truly priceless gift of peace-of-mind.
