Ferguson Funeral Home

While it is very thoughtful to give flowers to express your sympathy, many times after a family has seen their loved one struggle from an illness they would like to bring focus or give back to a charity that helped them. For example, if the loved one received hospice care in their home, when the family acknowledges the hospice to receive donations, it is a way of supporting the organization and thanking them for their support through a difficult time. You may also see requests for donations in someone’s memory to support an organization they were active in such as their church or to support a specific organization to cure an illness.

Ceremony marks every transition in life: weddings, baptisms, graduation, and funerals. The funeral or memorial service is a way to recognize the importance of the life that has been lived. Through music, poetry, and often scriptures, friends and family can face the reality of the death and begin to cope with grief. The family draws comfort from the gathering of all those people whose lives have been touched by the person who has died.

Choosing a casket is a very personal decision. To many people, it is important to select a casket made of very durable steel or semi-precious metal. They feel peace of mind knowing the selection they made protects against the outside elements. Often, families will want to select a casket that seems fitting for their loved one. For example, interiors with quilted patterns, hardwoods with tree designs, religious symbols such as the Last Supper or praying hands and sometimes floral designs, which may represent their family member’s favorite color or flower. We believe finding exactly what is right for you is so important, we offer many choices in caskets.

Many people falsely believe that everyone has to have a “traditional” funeral. However, we believe every service should be personalized in order to honor the person who has died and be meaningful to the survivors. We offer alternatives such as Celebration of Life services instead of religious services, visitations with or without viewing, and unique ceremonies to honor the person who has died. We try to be creative in helping the family make funeral arrangements so the decisions truly reflect their personal preferences and the life that has been lived.

A funeral provides a special tribute for the loved one and their unique life. Planning and preparing for a loved ones funeral is also the first step in overcoming grief. The visitation or funeral service allows family and friends an opportunity to share a story and express their love and appreciation for someone who was important to them. The bereaved family members can see how much someone cares which gives them strength and psychological help to adjust for their loss.

Our funeral directors and staff members are experienced professionals who can guide you through the funeral arrangement process and provide emotional support. You will have many questions or concerns during the pre-planning or at-need arrangements about death notifications, customary procedures, and how we will be able to assist you in providing a memorable service for your loved one.
