Mortuary Care
The care and respect given to a deceased person begins with the transfer from the place of death to our funeral home. All our transfer staff are fully trained in conducting the transfer of the deceased in a dignified and caring manner whether this occurs in a private home, hospital or more public place.
This standard of care continues right through the entire process of the funeral preparations to the final resting place.
We have certified embalmers on staff who take care of the preparation of the deceased. Each body is handled as if family members are present in the mortuary at any time. We attach a great deal of significance on the preparation for a viewing, and the dressing and grooming of the deceased person is a part of this process.
Our mortuary staff take great care to ensure that the deceased person always looks peaceful and well cared for. We always ask our arrangers to make sure that full clothing has been supplied (underwear, makeup) and a photograph helps with details of hairstyles and makeup applications.
The end result of mortuary care is to ensure the deceased person has been presented in a safe, clean and hygenic way.
