WHY DO WE HAVE FUNERALS?
For thousands of years, funerals have been a means of expressing our beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about the death of someone we love.

The Funeral Ceremony:

• Helps us acknowledge that someone we love has died
• Allows us to say goodbye
• Provides a social support system for us and other friends and family members
• Allows us to search for the meaning of life and death
• Offers continuity and hope for the living

Meaningful funeral ceremonies are rites of passage. They help us move from life before death to life after death.
The funeral provides us a safe place to express our feeling of loss.

• Locally owned and managed with a full time professional staff of licensed funeral directors and embalmers. We are your neighbors and people you can depend on … today and tomorrow.
• One of our licensed staff is there to greet and answer your telephone calls … 24 hours a day. When you call Eggleston Meinert Pavley you don’t get an answering machine or someone located half way across the country.
• We continue our services with our families with a complete after care program including our own grief support group.
• We have a dedicated staff of trained prearrangement counselors ready to serve families with complete and personalized plans.
• We provide total flexibility in the type of arrangements you might request. We feel each person is important and deserves our respect.
• Three convenient locations, each designed to provide our families with ample space and amenities such as kitchen facilities, special family rooms and nursery. We take special pride in providing a clean and comfortable facility.
• We care about the people of our community. Our commitment to the community extends beyond our profession. We make special efforts to be involved with groups and service organizations which improve the quality of life for those who live in the surrounding community.
• We provide educational programs and seminars on issues surrounding death and the grief process. Our library is always available for families to use.
