Honoring Life.  Cherishing Memory.

People elect to pre-plan funeral services for deeply personal reasons.   Services should reflect the traditions, customs, and rituals of the individual and family.

Why we plan

We plan to make our wishes known.
We plan to protect our loved ones from unnecessary burden.
We plan to ensure prudent financing with regards to budget and cost.

Shalom Memorial Funeral Home provides a powerful suite of funeral planning tools ranging from the general outlining of one’s wishes, through living wills, to fully funded pre-need funeral arrangements.

When done correctly, planning ensures that wishes are honored and the community of mourners is protected and cared for.

Planning with care and compassion

Building You A Bridge

From Today into Tomorrow

For Our Loved Ones

In each of our lives there are people who we would do absolutely anything for.  We cherish their joy and work to shield them from sorrow.

Because we cannot be there to protect and comfort them when we are gone, we can act now to safeguard them as much as we can.

Pre-Planning is our gift to them.

Building You a Bridge - a personal reflection

“I do this for you. I do this because, I know that on the day when you will need me the most, I will not be there for you. I do this because, I know that on that day you will reach out for me and I will not be able to reach back. I know that in the weeks and months that will follow you will miss my smile, my laugh and my embrace. Thinking about that day, I feel deep hurt, not because I will be gone, but because I cannot spare you these heartaches. It is because I will not be there for you ‘then’ that I choose to do what I can ‘now’ to ensure that you will be protected and supported. The plans I make will be there for you, to act as your bridge, your guide and your support as you travel from a life with my physical presence to a life filled with my memory. So, even though this is hard for me to do, I do this for you.”
