Memorial Service
A memorial service is conducted without the body present and can vary in
ceremony and procedures. It can be held at the funeral home or at a
location of your choice. In order to create a memorial service that is as
unique as your loved one, we encourage you to help personalize the
service with memorabilia, photographs and other personal items.
Cremation offers a variety of choices, from a simple gathering to an
elaborate, traditional ceremony. No matter what you choose, we will help
create an experience that fits the needs of your family. The following is an
overview of the different types of cremation options that we provide. Our
funeral directors will discuss the many other options and details that make
each of our cremation services a personal, lasting tribute to your loved one.
Traditional Cremation Service
Our funeral home chapel is available for different types of services, from
traditional religious ceremonies to contemporary gatherings. A traditional
cremation service may include a viewing or visitation, a formal service (at
the funeral home, local church or other venue) and any necessary
automotive equipment. Memorial register books, memorial folders and
acknowledgement cards may be purchased, and floral tributes are often
displayed. We encourage our families to bring photographs and other
memorabilia to further personalize the service.
Graveside Service
A graveside service or gathering is held at the burial site or columbarium
where the cremated remains are interred. This can be arranged separately
or in conjunction with a memorial service.
Memorial Service
A Memorial Service may be planned at the funeral home or at a location of
your choice. Memorial registry books, service folders, flag cases and
personal memorabilia can be used to further personalize the memorial.
At Banister Funeral Home, we have always strived to keep our prices reasonable and affordable.
For traditional funeral services and cremation services, our prices are competitive with all area funeral homes and lower than most.
For families with limited financial means, we offer individual plans tailored to the family’s specific needs and finances. Since 1984 we have helped hundreds of families with limited financial means to have a proper funeral at a low cost.
Again, our prices are reasonable and competitive, but, if you are a resident of the Lumpkin County area and get a lower price for a funeral or cremation elsewhere, we will meet or beat that price.
If you preplan and prepay for your funeral service, we have an insurance-based plan that can save you money and guarantee the funeral price. Since this plan is insurance based, you are the owner and have total control over it. Call us at 706-864-4159 for details.
