Gathering, Visitation and Viewing

A gathering of family and friends is often referred to as a viewing or visitation. Traditionally the casket is present, either open or closed. These gatherings can be held at the funeral home, church or place of worship, or other acceptable venues allowing friends and family to come together and pay their final respects to the person who has died. It is also a time for closure, when those left behind can say goodbye.

Church Ceremony

Church Ceremony

The church has meant so much to your family and your community. Perhaps you were dedicated there as an infant, baptized there as a child or celebrated your marriage there surrounded by family and friends. It only makes sense to involve your church family in your final life event of a funeral.

We believe in supporting the church as much as you do. That’s why; we specialize in hosting your funeral at your local church where you’ll be surrounded by the ones you love in a place familiar and dear to your heart.

Church funerals are typically scheduled in the morning, and are followed by the graveside committal service.

Chapel Service

Chapel Services are popular with families whose loved one was not affiliated with a church at the time of their passing, families who are located outside of our area or those who may not be able to attend a lengthy church service.

When you choose to hold a service in our chapel, it eliminates the need to convert a visitation room for a funeral (like many of the other funeral homes in our area). This dedicated room features seating for over 100 guests, the latest in audio and video equipment and a welcoming décor.

Our beautiful, inviting chapel provides the perfect setting for services of any type. Contact us today to learn more about our funeral services in Weirton, WV and the surrounding areas.

Graveside and Committal Services

A graveside service can range from a small, casual gathering of family and close friends to a larger ceremony with a formal schedule of events. Many times the graveside ceremony follows a visitation at the funeral home or a service in a place of worship. Some families choose a graveside service alone, gathering at the cemetery for the committal. Clergy, friends, or loved ones may take an active part, with readings, poems, or a special song.
