Permanent Memorialization

This means creating a dedicated place for family and friends to connect and remember your loved one.

Whatever you wish your final resting place to be, Jones-Gallagher & Helm-Gallagher Funeral Home can help. Let our staff explain the many options available to you and your loved ones.

A traditional funeral service can include a viewing and funeral service with either aboveground or belowground burial. Many guests have a memorial service or social gathering following the cremation process.

We have decorative urns and keepsake jewelry for permanent possession, so loved ones can feel their loved one is always close by.

We can also educate you on the local health and legal restrictions if you decide on scattering. 

A Consistent Place of Healing

A Consistent Place of Healing

In our modern society, people aren't given enough time to grieve their losses. The pressures of work, even the simple emotional need to ‘be busy,’ often bring the bereaved back into the ‘real’ world far too soon.

Also, many families are choosing to scatter the cremated remains of their loved one in a favorite place; the ocean, or even in the skies above. While that may seem fitting at the time, it means that you do not have a consistent place to connect with the memories of the person you loved so dearly.

Having such permanent place - in a cemetery, mausoleum, or cremation garden - that can be visited regularly by family and friends is an essential part of the time following a death. It becomes a focal point of memorialization, and gives everyone a special place to go to remember your loved one, or to commemorate important occasions. It can help to make a birthday or anniversary less painful.

A permanent place to reflect on your loved one becomes a way of connecting to a family's past. Visiting the resting place of grandparents or great-grandparents may provide children with an anchor to their personal history. It is a connection to the past, to love shared. It truly honors the relationship you still have – and will always have – with that person.
