Online Memorial and Personalized Condolences
The Life Story of your loved one will be available as soon as the wording is finalized. Online condolences can be printed for you, or emailed directly to you.
Personalization
We offer customized printing to accommodate your loved ones individuality.
Some examples of how you can personalize a funeral:
- If your loved one enjoyed cooking, a favorite dish could be served at the visitation with the recipe given out to take home as a memento.
- For the fishermen, favorite tackle, and a mounted fish, could be displayed in the chapel.
- At the service of a motorcycle lover, or a classic car collector a favorite vehicle could be displayed outside of the funeral home.
- Collages of treasured pictures can by displayed throughout the chapel.

Dove Release
A dove release can be a moving part of any service. As the dove is released and we follow the dove as it ascends, our eyes are flooded with the sun's bright light, the light has the ability to improve the way we feel.
The release of doves is contingent upon the weather.
Butterfly Release
A butterfly release is a ceremonial freeing of one or more butterflies. The beauty and symbolism of butterflies ascending into the heavens will forever create a comforting memory. The release of butterflies is contingent upon the weather.
Balloon Release
A “bouquet” of balloons can be provided in various colors according to your preferences. As the balloons drift up to the heavens they will leave a memory that will last a lifetime. A personal message can be written on the balloons before the release. The balloons are formulated to be safe for the environment.
Therapy Dogs
Click here to see a video of a 19.5-year-old therapy dog. His name is Baxter, and he works in a hospice.
In difficult times everyone can appreciate the unconditional affection of a canine companion. Dakota, or one of our other certified therapy canines, can provide extra affection in a time of need. When a therapy dog attends a funeral and or visitation, it can help break the ice and make this difficult time more bearable, create a diversion, draw people out and help to entertain children and adults. For many people, petting or hugging a therapy dog has a calming effect. A therapy dog’s presence at a funeral, visitation, and or an arrangement is optional and free of charge. Therapy dogs are also available to be brought to a family member’s home for a visit. Please call us at 715-659-4545 for more information on Therapy dogs.
