At Eclipse Funerals, the funeral is meant to be a personalized expression of respect and honor to the deceased. It is an opportunity to support the family and begin the bereavement process by bringing together family, friends and the larger community.
Green funerals provide for the most natural way to return to the earth. Natural burial, sometimes called green burial, has been the traditional method of burial throughout much of human history. It is a way of caring for the dead with dignity and respect, while also having minimal impact on our environment.
Green burial ranges from natural interment of the body using biodegradable burial containers to preserving cremated remains in eco-friendly urns or scattering remains. Your green burial will take place on restored and protected land that accommodates green burial practices, thereby contributing to protecting our natural areas and habitats for future
generations.
Cremation offers a meaningful and respectful way to honor the memory of a loved one, and often provides families increased flexibility and a larger range of memorialization options.
You can choose to scatter the cremated remains in a meaningful location, keep them in a decorative urn, turn them into jewelry or other keepsakes, or even have them grow into a tree. Some people choose to bury cremated remains in a cemetery or place them in a columbarium, which is a structure designed specifically for storing cremated remains.
Traditional burial funeral services are a common way to remember, and to honor loved ones who have passed away. These services provide an opportunity to see your loved one before they are buried. It can be tough to say goodbye but seeing them one last time can help you feel a sense of closure and acceptance.
If you are someone who finds comfort in religious or formal ceremonies, then a traditional funeral service might be an appropriate choice for you and your family. There are often readings, music, and prayers that are significant to your loved one and family. This kind of ceremony can help you feel supported and surrounded by people who care about you during a tough time.
Burials for veterans typically involve a series of honors and ceremonies to commemorate their service to their country. These burials are often conducted in national cemeteries or veteran-specific sections of public cemeteries. Veterans are typically entitled to certain benefits, including, but not limited to, a gravesite, marker, burial flag.
The ceremonies may include military honors such as a rifle salute, the playing of Taps, and the presentation of the flag to the next of kin. These burials serve as a final tribute to the sacrifices and contributions of veterans to their nation.
