Houk Johnston Terry Funeral HM
Jul 1990 - nowOur Mission is to care for the living with compassion and grace, and to treat the deceased with reverence.The importance of designing a funeral service is to consider the options listed below that would best suit your needs. For example; a register book with a blue background featuring clouds may be right for one person, but the register book featuring an open field with deer may be appropriate for the nature lover. Location: Where do you want the service to be held?Several options like a local church or community hall, the funeral home, the cemetery, or your own home. To use a public/state park or building authorization may be needed.Clergy: Whom do you wish to conduct the service?If you belong to, or are active in a church or fraternity (i.e. VFW, American Legion, Fire Department) you may wish to ask your minister or Chaplin. Memorabilia for the service or calling hours: This is an area of expertise for our firm and we will gladly assist you in any way to insure your satisfaction. Personalizing the life of the deceased can be done through picture boards, quilts and musical instruments. Local Cemeteries and Crematories: There are numerous facilities in this area. We are also available to transport the deceased outside this region. We also contact these facilities for the family.Obituaries:This can be very difficult for a family to compose. We encourage the families to bring us what they have written and we will edit for them. During the arrangement conference our staff again will inquire about the likes, traits, and hobbies that may be used in the obituary.
