Pre-Planning

Our funeral homes offer many options for planning a funeral ahead of time. Pre-planning: Relieves the emotional and financial burden from those you love. It also expresses your wishes.

Trying to plan the funeral of a loved one can be very stressful and emotionally draining.  When someone close to us passes away, focusing on making funeral arrangements is very hard.  That's why most people decide to pre-plan their funeral.  Our caring staff can discuss with you all of the information you need as well as discuss any concerns you may have. When you talk to any of our staff, you are under no obligation.  Please contact us so that we may provide information you need to make your pre-planning decisions.

Types Of Services

Here at Price, Urbauer, Ahrendts, we offer several types of funeral services to remember and say goodbye to a loved one. Our commitment and flexibility offers the type of funeral that best meets the needs of your family, and makes an appropriate statement to the community. As a part of our services, we mail a packet of helpful information and resources to all families we serve. 

Regardless of the type of service, we first request that a family member fill out and return an information sheet on the deceased, which you may download by clicking here.

The Traditional Funeral Service is when your loved one is present. The night before the funeral there would be visitation generally in the evening with the casket open. The service itself is normally the following day either in the chapel of the funeral home or in a church, chosen by the family. A funeral often consists of scripture reading, prayers, a eulogy, sometimes a sermon, and music. After the funeral there is a procession to the cemetery,  for a committal service.  There is a reception to follow at the church or the families home which concludes the services.

A Memorial Service is when the deceased is not present. It may take place at the funeral home, the families, a church, or even outdoors. This is a time to remember your loved one through fellowship with friends and family. The memorial service can also be an addition to a traditional funeral service. For example having a traditional funeral service here and then a memorial service back in the deceased’s home town. Or, a memorial service can be done after a burial or cremation if this meets the need of the family.

The Committal Service is a brief service at the gravesite after a tradition funeral service but prior to the burial. This is where family and friends say their final good byes at the final resting place by placing flowers or sometimes sand on the casket. If the committal service is the only service then it becomes what we call a grave side service and is accompanied by a visitation the night before. The grave side service is a more lengthy service consisting  of scripture reading, eulogy, poetry, and music.

We also offer a traditional funeral service followed by a cremation. It does not restrict you from having an  visitation, open casket and a funeral service the following day.

Direct Cremation is when there is no funeral ceremony. Then the cremated remains are placed in a urn and ready to be buried, placed in a niche, or be taken home.

The is also a direct burial which does not consist of a funeral service. The casket is transported to the cemetery for burial.
