Funerals can take many forms, as families choose the services and ceremonies they find most appropriate for their loved one. We’ll leave the details up to you. You can choose where, when and how to hold the service. You can choose the music you want played, the prayers that will be recited, and the special services and personal touches that will help you honor a life well-lived. You make the decisions and leave the rest to us. Families customarily select:
Professional Services
- Basic Services of funeral director and staff
- Embalming
- Embalming may be necessary if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial. Embalming at Pizzi includes the use of our preparation room and sanitary care.
