Bachman Funeral Home, About the Funeral

Funerals are expensive...
A funeral is only as expensive as YOU want it to be. Your funeral director will provide many options for both the services and the merchandise, like caskets, urns and vaults. You decide how expensive the funeral will be.

Can we have a Funeral and Cremation?
A funeral typically involves having the deceased person present. Following the funeral ceremony, the deceased person may be taken to the crematory. You're just changing the place of disposition, from the cemetery to the crematory. This is the most popular type of cremation arrangement.

We don't want the same old Funeral that everyone has..
You need to celebrate the life of your loved one in your own special way. With the assistance of a professional funeral director, you have the ability and resources to create your very own masterpiece of remembrance.

Do we really need to have a funeral
"If we step back and examine the true reasons for having funerals, we will see that creating meaningful ceremonies when death impacts us can assist us with emotional, physical and spiritual transformations. The death of someone we love often temporarily disconnects us from ourselves and from the world around us. As we search for some sense of balance, we must make internal adaptations to our new outer reality - someone who has been physically present in our lives is gone. Participating in a meaningful funeral ceremony helps us begin to recenter ourselves and make that painful but necessary transition from life before the death to life after the death."
