Embalming

The care and respect given to a deceased person begins with the transfer from the place of death to our funeral home.  All our transfer staff are fully trained in conducting the transfer of the deceased in a dignified and caring manner whether this occurs from a private home, hospital or more public place.

This standard of care continues right through the entire process of the funeral preparations to the final resting place.
We have experienced embalmers on staff who take care of the preparation of the deceased. Each body is handled as if family members are present in the preparation room throughout.

We attach a great deal of significance to the preparation of a deceased person for viewing. The dressing and grooming of the deceased is part of this process.

Our mortuary staff takes great care to ensure that the deceased person always looks peaceful and is well cared for.

We always ask our Funeral Directors to make sure that full clothing has been supplied (underwear, makeup) and a photograph helps with details of hairstyles and makeup applications.

The end result of mortuary care is that the deceased person has been presented in a safe, clean and hygienic way.

This helps to ensure a pleasant memory of the deceased is attained.
