Burial Services

Minnich Funeral establishments provide personalized and meaningful services to meet the personal desires of hundreds of families each year. Though not a complete list of the services we provide, the following are several available:

• Funeral Home Chapel Service - Floral tributes surround the casket of a simple chapel ceremony, which include viewings and closed casket visitations. We strive to provide the most up-to-date technology available, including monitor screens for video/picture displays, sound reinforcement for music and speaking, recording service so you can listen to your loved one's funeral later.
• Church Service - A Religious service at your place of worship according to your own customs and liturgy with the body present for viewing, closed casket visitations, and funeral worship services.
• Graveside Service - A graveside service held at the burial site with the casket closed and the mourners gathered under around the grave or mausoleum.
• Memorial Service - A Memorial Service with photographs and memorabilia can be held in our funeral home chapel or a location of choice without the casket present.

It is our desire to offer traditional burial options for all. No family will ever be pressured into a service or choice that does not fit with their beliefs or budget. Our licensed funeral directors will work with all families, and in all financial situations, to honor your loved one in a way that is appropriate to you and your family.

We recommend having the discussion with your loved ones, long before a death occurs to ensure that other understand your choices, and more importantly, why you would choose particular options.

Cremation Services

You do not need to belong to any type of society or group to have cremation as an option. Our facility includes everything needed for a cremation service, and your loved one never leaves our care! Our on-site crematory is run by our staff only, and you never need to worry about how your loved one is handled because everyone in our care is handled with respect, dignity, and exceptional care. Call us with your questions.

ASK THE FUNERAL HOME BEFORE YOUR CHOOSE TO SEE THEIR CREMATORY! So many funeral homes claim that your loved one never leaves their care, but it's FALSE! Some funeral directors even sign the cremation certificate as if they are the crematory, and that's false too. Minnich Funeral offers the peace of mind that your loved one actually remains with us the entire cremation process, and we're always ready to prove it. Our own crematory is available for your viewing and is always operated by licensed funeral directors and certified crematory operators.

All Minnich Funeral providers offer dignified cremation options to meet the personalized desires of families if cremation is their choice. Though not a complete list of the cremation services we provide, the following are several options available:

• Chapel Service - A contemporary or religious ceremony can be scheduled in the funeral home chapel with the cremated remains present in an urn of choice.
• Church Service - A church Memorial Celebration can be personalized with special family photographs and memorabilia if such services fit the faith and practice of the congregation.
• Graveside Service - A gathering as cremated remains are interred is one of several options.
• Memorial Service - Memorial Registry Books, Memorial Service folders and Flag cases can personalize the service or ceremony of your loved one.

Cremation is only one option, in a long list of available services, for those who have died. When held in comparison to burial, cremation can (and often is) combined with traditional viewings, funerals, and other choices. Cremation does not remove these options, but rather it is encouraged to consider it as an alternative to the committal or burial while choosing many other options.

We recommend having the discussion with your loved ones, long before a death occurs to ensure that other understand your choices, and more importantly, why you would choose particular options.

Green Options

Green Burial Council

The Green Burial Council is the environmental certification organization setting the standard for green burial in North America. They offer environmental certificates for funeral homes, cemeteries and product manufacturers.

A Greener Funeral

Environmentally-conscious “green” living may be one of the most beneficial movements in the world today, yet most people associate green only with living. For people who want to preserve the environment, green funerals and green burials provide a way to make the end of life more meaningful too. For many people, a greener funeral represents an ethical as well as philosophical choice. For others, it is a way to find value and significance in a simpler funeral process.
