Funeral Services

When you come to the Curran-Bromwell Funeral Home, you are family.  We are committed to serving your family as our own; with Sensitivity, Compassion & Respect.

We will assist your family in planning a funeral and choosing the options that suit your families needs and your loved ones wishes. We are able to assist you in holding services in a wide variety of areas. From our chapel, to your church or at the cemetery we are able to prepare a meaningful service to honor your loved one. We will listen to your family and help to arrange a celebration of your loved one's life through whatever means you choose.

We will strive to help your family create the most personal and meaningful tribute to your loved one. We acknowledge that we cannot make the pain go away, but through our efforts we can make the journey of grief less lonely and perhaps a little easier.

Pre-Planning

Please fill out our Pre-Planning Form online.

Today, more and more people are planning their funerals in advance. Preplanning, or prearranging, as this is commonly known, is simply taking care of your service details before the need arises.   Working together with one of our Funeral Directors, who has special training and experience, you can be sure these details are taken care of.

Do you want a traditional funeral or simple memorial service? Burial or cremation? In addition, you can choose to personalize specific items such as people to notify, location, readings or favorite songs, flowers, clothing, and anything else that is important to you.

• Why Preplan?
  Your family and friends don't have to guess what you want when you share your thoughts with them. And, by putting it in writing, you can be sure you'll get the service you have planned for.
  Preplanning can also help you determine exactly how much you should spend on all the specific events of your life that you would like honored and remembered.
• Personalize Your Service
  Create a positive celebration! With preplanning, those close to you will know what you would like highlighted about the life you've lived, so they can commemorate the "real you".
  
  
• Be Satisfied, Knowing you Have Relieved an Emotional Burden
  For Your Family
  Planning a special service after losing a loved one is never easy. It's already a highly emotional time, and when they don't know your final wishes, brings added stress to those you love.
  
  
• It's as easy as A-B-C!
  A. Collect Personal Information
  This includes gathering all the facts that you will want people to remember: your biographical information, career, hobbies, family and friends. You can include any other special interests you have to help make your service even more meaningful for those who attend.
  B. Making Arrangements
  When ready, you can sit down with a planning professional who will explain the various options available. This information will help you determine your choice of service and make decisions on any other ideas you may have for your remembrance.
  A statement of your service selections will then be kept at the funeral home until needed.
  C. Prefund Your Funeral
  Funeral prices, like other things, increase over time. By prefunding at today's prices, you can be assured that the money will be there to cover tomorrow's funeral costs.
  Prefunding can also help relieve the financial burden on those close to you. Handling the costs of a funeral, and possibly overspending because they weren't certain of your wishes, can be extremely stressful and even a hardship. Once you have prefunded your services, you have taken that last step in assuring that your remembrance will be the way you want it with less stress on those left behind. This allows them to focus on remembering you and celebrating your life.
  There are a variety of prefunding options available. Your planning professional would welcome the opportunity to sit down and go through these with you.

Online Memorials

We can set up an online memorial for your loved one. Our online memorials provide information for guests about the funeral services and also provide a tribute to your loved one. Guests will be able to gain information about dates, times and locations of funeral services. Guests will also be able to order flowers, make donations and sign a guest book through the memorial. The family will have access to the memorial to add photos to create a photo gallery for their loved one. By providing information to guests about services, our online memorials help lessen the load on a family during a difficult time. The memorials also serve to pay tribute to your family's loved one.

Obituaries

We will prepare an obituary to be published for your loved one.

Veteran's Benefits

We will help you secure your potential veterans benefits, such as burial flags, government markers, memorial certificate and a burial plot.

Social Security

We will notify the Social Security Administration of the death. We will explain and help you apply for any benefits you may be entitled to through Social Security.

Death Certificates

We will help you in obtaining a death certificate which can be important for insurance purposes as well a host of other issues.

After Care

Sometimes the loss of a loved one can be especially painful. We understand that the grieving process does not end with the funeral. We are here not only to help arrange the funeral, but to help families cope with the loss of their loved one.
