Testimonial:I recently needed the services of a funeral home as I had lost my mom. I knew right away who I would use because of the quality of service I received in the past. See, no one knows the grief and pain of losing a child (my daughter) unless they too have lost a child. The service provided by the professionals at Schnauss was highly professional, supportive, and compassionate. Every detail of the service provided was to uplift the family members in their time of loss and grief. I highly recommend Schnauss funeral home to anyone needing their services. James Krajewski

Traditional Funeral ServicesChurch Services

When planning a traditional funeral service at a church, it is important to remember that this involves several key elements. First and foremost, you will need to work closely with the church staff to arrange the service according to their guidelines and your loved one’s wishes.

During a church service, prayers, hymns, and readings from religious texts are usually included in the ceremony. Eulogies may also be delivered by close friends or family members to share memories and pay respect to the deceased. It is customary for attendees to express their condolences to the family, often by presenting flowers or making a donation to a chosen charity in memory of the deceased.

Casket viewings are an essential part of many church funeral services, allowing people to pay their respects directly to the deceased. This can take place before or during the service, so make sure to account for that in your planning.

Remember, a traditional funeral service typically involves a procession to the cemetery, where a graveside service will be conducted. This may involve additional prayers and final goodbyes before the casket is lowered into the ground.

Synagogue Services

In Jewish tradition, a funeral is often held at a synagogue, with rituals and customs somewhat different from those of a church funeral. Timing is crucial, as the deceased are traditionally buried as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of their passing.

In a synagogue service, a rabbi usually leads with prayers, psalms, and eulogies, while attendees may participate by reciting prayers from the Jewish liturgy. In contrast to church funerals, flowers are generally not presented at Jewish funerals. Instead, it’s customary to make a donation in memory of the deceased to a chosen charity or the synagogue itself.

Jewish funerals also include a tahara, a ritual cleansing of the body before burial, performed by the community’s ritual washing team. The deceased is then placed in a simple wooden casket, often without a public viewing.

After the service, attendees accompany the casket in a procession to the cemetery for a graveside service that includes the Kaddish, a Jewish prayer recited in memory of the deceased. Family members take part in the burial ceremony, each shoveling a bit of earth onto the casket as a final act of respect and remembrance.

Whether you are arranging a funeral service at a church or synagogue, it’s important to remain flexible and considerate of others during this time. Traditions and customs may vary according to each individual’s personal beliefs and preferences. Always consult with religious leaders, family members, and funeral home professionals to ensure the most appropriate and respectful tribute to your loved one.

Memorial Services

Memorial services are an opportunity for family and friends to come together and remember their loved one in a less formal setting than a traditional funeral service. The body is usually not present at these gatherings, which allows for a more personal and intimate reflection on the person’s life, passions, and accomplishments. There are various types of memorial services, the most popular being Celebration of Life and Military Services.

Celebration of Life

A Celebration of Life service focuses on the positive aspects of the deceased’s life, highlighting their love for life, passions, and contributions to family and society. This type of memorial service usually includes music, personal anecdotes, and messages of hope for the mourners. You and your family can choose to share stories, reminisce about your fondest memories of your loved one, and acknowledge their impact on your lives. Remember, this is a time to celebrate the life and legacy of the person you are honoring.

Military Services

For families of those who have served in the military, a Military Memorial Service could be an appropriate option. These services often involve a more solemn and formal atmosphere, with a focus on gratitude, respect, and remembrance for the contributions made by the deceased during their time in the service. Military memorial services typically pay tribute to the specific branch in which the individual served, such as the Navy or the Coast Guard.

During a Military Service, you may witness military honors, such as the presentation of the flag, a gun salute, and the playing of “Taps.” These elements serve to honor the memory and sacrifice of the deceased and provide comfort and support to the grieving family members.

In both types of memorial services, the main goal is to provide a space for mourners to grieve, remember, and celebrate the life of their deceased loved one. While it’s natural to experience feelings of sadness and loss, focusing on the love, passion, and memories shared with the person who has passed away can provide a sense of comfort and peace.

Graveside Services

Graveside services are an important part of the funeral process, allowing you to pay your respects and say goodbye to the deceased in a more intimate setting at the cemetery. These services are typically shorter than a traditional funeral and take place at the site of the burial or, in the case of cremation, next to the mausoleum or place of internment.

Planning a graveside service involves coordinating with the funeral director, who will help guide you through the process and ensure that all necessary arrangements are made, such as obtaining the appropriate permits and coordinating with cemetery staff. It’s essential to plan the service with respect and consideration for the mourners, ensuring that there is enough seating, shade, and accessibility for all attendees.

During the graveside service, prayers or scripture readings are often held to honor the deceased’s memory, providing a meaningful and comforting experience for friends and family. It’s essential to choose text that reflects the deceased’s faith and beliefs or has a special connection with the mourners. A eulogy may be delivered by a close friend or family member, often followed by a moment of silence and reflection.

Floral arrangements are an essential aspect of graveside services, symbolizing love and respect for the deceased. The casket or urn may be adorned with flowers, and additional floral arrangements can be placed nearby. Mourners might also choose to place individual flowers onto the casket or at the gravesite as a final gesture of farewell.

Remember, during graveside services, it’s crucial to conduct yourself with a sense of decorum and respect for the deceased and their loved ones. Dress appropriately, follow any specific requests made by the family, and support the other mourners in their time of grieving. While the experience can be emotional and solemn, it’s also an opportunity to come together and share in the memory and celebration of a life well-lived.

Create Healing Experiences

Create Healing Experiences

In the depth of early grief, you might think that it would be ‘easier’ to just take care of things as simply – and as quickly –as possible. But easier, especially in this circumstance, simply isn’t better. You must set the stage for the future by giving your family and friends the opportunity to start the healing process.

Burial Services

Burial Services

If burial has been selected, usually any ceremonies we design revolve around the casket being present. You can choose to follow tradition, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in a church or memorial chapel. Or you could decide to have a more relaxed service, even in your family home.

Let’s just say this: there is no ‘hard and fast’ formula for honoring your loved one when burial has been selected. We’re here to listen to your concerns, share our experience, and help you to arrive at the perfect way to gather together before your loved one's interment in the cemetery of your choice. 

You Can Never Go Back and Do it Over

Some say it’s harsh to remind you of this, but we know we must. We want you to honor your loved one in a way that allows you to look back, years from now, and be thankful that you did the best you could to honor their life. Creating a ceremony that calls together the hearts and minds of all who loved them is a gift to everyone involved. A gift of memories, a gift of healing... a truly priceless gift of peace-of-mind.

Contact us today to speak with one of our directors.

Designing Your Funeral

There are two facets of the design process. First, we ask you to consider how you wish to honor and celebrate the life. When those important decisions are made, we’ll turn to the issue of how you wish to care for the physical remains.

How to Honor a Life

How to Honor a Life

It’s about bringing those you love together, at a time of loss. It’s a natural thing to do, and over time, has become a socially-expected practice. More importantly, a funeral or memorial service, whether traditional, or contemporary, is the first step in healing.

You can have your service anywhere, and any way, you want. Your choices include the place of celebration, day of the week, and time of day; the musical selection, what prayers will be said or songs you’d like sung. We can arrange to have doves, butterflies, or balloons released at the close of the service. Keepsake gifts of wildflower seeds or a tree seedling can be given. We’re here to help you create the most memorable and meaningful service to honor your loved one.

Burial or Cremation?

Burial or Cremation?

Your next consideration focuses on choosing between burial and cremation. Usually, people are clear on this point. In fact, your loved one may have told you, or someone else, exactly how they wish to be cared for. But it can be a hard decision for some families, especially when the wishes of the deceased were never clearly stated. If that's the case, please know we're able to help you come to the perfect decision for your loved one, and for you.

Once you decide, the finer details come into focus. If you've chosen burial, then selection of the casket, vault, and desired cemetery follows. Naturally, we’re here to help you.

If cremation is your choice, then you'll need to make the next decision: whether the cremated remains will be placed in a mausoleum niche, or buried on the cemetery grounds.

In some communities, there's the option for a 'green burial.' If that's what your loved one would prefer, we'll help you select an environmentally-friendly choice.

What's Next?

Now that we've given you the basics, it's time to reflect more on exactly what is appropriate for you and your family. If possible, gather everyone together to speak of their feelings and desires.

A Consistent Place of Healing

A Consistent Place of Healing

In our modern society, people aren't given enough time to grieve their losses. The pressures of work, even the simple emotional need to ‘be busy,’ often bring the bereaved back into the ‘real’ world far too soon.

Also, many families are choosing to scatter the cremated remains of their loved one in a favorite place; the ocean, or even in the skies above. While that may seem fitting at the time, it means that you do not have a consistent place to connect with the memories of the person you loved so dearly.

Having such permanent place - in a cemetery, mausoleum, or cremation garden - that can be visited regularly by family and friends is an essential part of the time following a death. It becomes a focal point of memorialization, and gives everyone a special place to go to remember your loved one, or to commemorate important occasions. It can help to make a birthday or anniversary less painful.

A permanent place to reflect on your loved one becomes a way of connecting to a family's past. Visiting the resting place of grandparents or great-grandparents may provide children with an anchor to their personal history. It is a connection to the past, to love shared. It truly honors the relationship you still have – and will always have – with that person.
