At the beginning of the arrangement conference the funeral director will discuss with the family their preferences for the funeral time and location. The director will also discuss with the family who they would like to have officiate at the service, musical selections, organist, vocalist, pallbearers and the cemetery they will be using for interment.

Information for the obituary is usually obtained at this time. Items such as date and place of marriage, how long the person had lived in the area, educational degrees, their employment history, member of any clubs or organizations, hobbies and survivors are needed on an obituary. If the family desires, we will list their preferences for memorial gifts.

The funeral director will need to ask you a variety of questions. The answers to these questions will be used to complete different documents, forms and permits. Information about the deceased, such as full legal name, date of birth, place of birth, social security number, usual occupation, legal address, years of education, father's name, and mother's maiden name will be needed.
