The funeral helps us deal with the reality that a loved one has passed away. It provides a time and place to remember and talk about the life and death of a loved one. The funeral is an appropriate time to say goodbye which is important in beginning the healing process. It is wise to choose a funeral that best meets the needs of everyone in your family, after all the services you select is a statement that your family makes to the community. At Mystic Funeral Home we offer several types of funeral services for both burials and cremations.

The Traditional Funeral Service is when your loved one is present. The night before the funeral there would be calling hours generally in the evening with the casket open. The service itself is normally the following day either in the chapel of the funeral home or in a church, chosen by the family. A funeral often consists of scripture reading, prayers, a eulogy, sometimes a sermon, and music. After the funeral there is a procession to the cemetery, for a committal service. There is a reception to follow at the church, a restaurant or the families home which concludes the services.

A Memorial Service is when the deceased is not present. It may take place after a cremation or burial. It can be at the funeral home, the families, a church, or even outdoors. This is a time to remember your loved one through fellowship with friends and family. The memorial service can also be an addition to a traditional funeral service, for example having a traditional funeral service here and then a memorial service back in the deceased's home town.

The Graveside service is a brief service at the gravesite at the time of burial. This is where family and friends say their final good byes at the final resting place by placing flowers or sometimes sand on the casket it can be a service consisting of scripture reading, eulogy, poetry, and music.

We also offer a traditional funeral service followed by a cremation.

Cremation is a form of disposition. It does not restrict you from having a visitation, open casket and a funeral service the following day. It is even possible to have a procession to the cemetery for a committal service.

Direct Cremation is when there is no funeral ceremony. The deceased is placed in a cremation receptacle and transported to a crematory. The cremation chamber is heated by gas jets. Then the cremated remains are placed in a urn and ready to be buried, placed in a niche, or be taken home. At Mystic Funeral Home, we require all cremations to be identified prior to cremation. This also gives you the chance to say good bye in a less stressful environment, and see your loved one in peace.

There is also a direct burial which does not consist of a funeral service. Then the body is bathed, dressed and casketed. The casket is transported to the cemetery for burial, with or without a graveside service.
