Funeral Home offers many different services. Our training and experience
have prepared us to help, to reassure, and to understand when a
family faces the loss of a loved one. We are here to replace confusion
with calm, doubts with certainty, and questions with answers. Here,
one finds a quiet gentleness in an atmosphere of dignity, efficiency,
and trust. We believe your service choice is a personal decision.
At Merritt Funeral Home we explain the options available, then allow
you to make your own decisions.
Traditional Services
 Every
family is different, and not everyone wants the same type of funeral.
Funeral practices are influenced by religious and cultural traditions,
costs and personal preferences. These factors help determine whether
the funeral will be elaborate or simple, public or private, religious
or secular, and where it will be held. They also influence whether
the body will be present at the funeral, if there will be a viewing
or visitation, and if so, whether the casket will be open or closed,
and whether the remains will be buried or cremated. Among the choices
you'll need to make are whether you want one of these basic types
of funerals, or something in between.
Cremation Services
With cremation services, we at Merritt Funeral Home believe you
should be able to choose the type of service that you find most
meaningful. That's why our list of services includes many options.
Additional Services
Non-Traditional Burial, Entombment or Cremation
without visitation. For this type of funeral service, you select
the services and merchandise from several itemized options.
Private family viewing - A private viewing is
limited to one hour. Additional charges will be made for a viewing
lasting more than one hour or during times other than office hours.
A Memorial Service is the same as a traditional
service, except the body is not present for the visitation or the
funeral. The private family viewing explained above also applies
here.
Traditional Ship-out allows you to select the
type of services and merchandise for local arrangements and then
the remains are shipped out of town for final services.
Limited Graveside Service is designed for those
who want a ground burial or interment of cremains with a service
only at the cemetery. Itemized options may be selected at the family's
discretion.
Limited Family Viewing with Shipment is designed
for those who want a private family viewing, but no other visitation
prior to shipment of the casketed remains. Itemized options are
also available to the family.
Ship-in Services are for those who want remains
shipped to Merritt Funeral Home for final services. Itemized options are available.
Direct Ship-out is when there is to be no local
service and the remains are to be shipped to a funeral home out
of town.
Embalming Policy
Although law does not require embalming, embalming may be necessary
if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with
a viewing. If you do not want embalming, you have the right to choose
an arrangement, which does not require you to pay for it, such as
direct cremation or immediate burial.
If you choose not to embalm, it is our policy to be notified prior
to transporting the deceased to the funeral home. We are required by law to either refrigerate or embalm the body within 24hrs after the death.
