Over the years many facts about funerals, cremation and other facts of our industry have been misunderstood. There seems to be many misconceptions about the funeral industry, mainly because of people’s unwillingness to discuss death. The most predominant misconception is that cremation is an alternative to a funeral when, indeed, cremation is an alternative to burial. It has been proven that most families need some degree of visitation and some type of funeral service. At our funeral home, we encourage these processes.

Some families, in this day and age, seem to have different needs at the time of the death of a loved one. The management and staff at the Stoddart Funeral Home believe that every funeral should be a personal tribute to a life well lived. We think that family input is important. This input may include special music, a special eulogy or certain items that were important to the deceased. Whatever the need, we can help you with your specific ideas.
