Complete Funeral Service
This is the most comprehensive of our services. Visitation, private or public, is most often held at the funeral home for one or two days prior to the actual funeral service. During the visitation, religious and fraternal services can be held – rosary and vigil services, Masonic services, etc. A funeral service takes place the following day—at the funeral home or the family’s church. Interment into a cemetery of the family’s choosing would follow. A procession to the cemetery or a private burial can be arranged at the family’s convenience.
Controlled Limited Service
A number of families prefer to simplify their funeral choices . Often, we plan services where the visitation will be for a few of hours rather than a full day or more. If there is a funeral service, it would then conclude at the funeral home. Such services take place that same morning, afternoon, or evening and are held at the funeral home. The family would have the option of a private burial at the cemetery.
Immediate Burial
Families who would like to have little to no services at the funeral home may choose this service. We can set up a brief private viewing for the family. We will arrange for all the authorizations and permits in a timely manner. We will also assist in arranging Graveside Services at the cemetery and Memorial Services at our funeral home or a place of your choice.
Burial and Entombment Services
Graveside Service
A graveside service is simply a service that takes place at the graveside rather than in the funeral home, church, or other facility. Sawyer-Fuller Funeral Home works with all cemeteries in organizing and scheduling graveside services for burial of human remains or cremated remains. They can be private or public services with or without committal prayer preceding them. Bagpipers and dove releases can also be scheduled for those who would like them. Often times a funeral service precedes the services at the cemetery, either meeting the family there or arriving in procession.
