Services

Each person and family is unique. So is each funeral or memorial service. Our belief is that each visitation and funeral service should be about the person who has died and be meaningful to those who remain. Family and friends have the opportunity to come together to share a sense of loss, to offer support and to remember and acknowledge the life of someone they loved.

We, at Davis and Powell Funeral Home, will assist in personalizing the funeral you select. You may include special pictures, memorabilia, or hobby items. Favorite music may be played, either from our organ, recorded music we have or recorded music provided by the family. Your thoughts and ideas are always encouraged and welcomed. We listen to the wishes of a family in order to arrange a funeral that is both personal and appropriate. We offer the following types of services that can be customized to meet your needs.

Monuments and Grave Markers

Talk with us about a personalized monument or marker to permanently mark the grave of your loved one. We have many shapes, inscriptions, etchings and types of stone to choose from.

Caskets

Caskets are available in a variety of materials, styles, colors and price ranges. The materials primarily used in casket construction are steel, wood, stainless steel, copper and bronze. Generally the casket is selected on its aesthetic appeal as a symbol of respect.

Outer Containers or Vaults

The two most common protective outer containers are the metal burial vault and the concrete burial vault. Both are designed and warranted by the manufacturer, to protect the casket from the weight of the earth and water in the ground. Many cemeteries require the use of some type of outer burial container. However, less expensive grave liners will meet this purpose, though they are not warranted to protect against moisture.

Urns

When choosing an urn, consideration should be given to the final venue of the cremated remains. Some urns are specifically designed for scattering, others made for burial and many are crafted to serve as keepsakes. Urn vaults are available to place an urn in for earth burial.
