The Bruce's Funeral Home Resource Center offers an assortment of products to help families and guests attending the service create a more meaningful tribute to their loved one. The addition of the Family Resource Center products are essential in creating convenience, consumer comfort, and value in a full range of funeral service products.

These tasteful display modules are an integral part of the Bruce's Funeral Home Resource Center, and are carefully planned to help families view and understand the full range of products available.

The Bruce's Funeral Home Resource Center displays a carefully crafted assortment of closed quarter-sections of caskets, arranged so families can easily see a progression of value. The Center also focuses on creating a warm comforting environment that helps families make a more informed purchasing decision.

At Bruce Funeral Home, we believe the funeral ceremony is about how your loved one lived their life and your place in that life. We strongly encourage families to bring in photos, mementos and remembrances that will be displayed in the casket or in their own special section. Personalizing the casket, exterior and interior, by color selection, type of fabric, individualized corner pieces or by engraving will help tell the story of your loved one, for all to read. Flowers, the music chosen, prayer cards or memorial folders all contribute to this final chapter. With so many personal and individual choices to be made, it is important that you receive, from one of our staff members, the options that are available to you.

Traditional Service
Many families prefer to choose a traditional worship-oriented funeral ceremony. A traditional ceremony typically includes:

Viewing at the place of worship or funeral home, either prior to the ceremony or the evening before
The funeral ceremony itself, conducted at the funeral home or place of worship
Procession to the cemetery for a final committal service being traditional does not mean being without choice. Each funeral at Bruce's is tailored to your preferences. Some of the areas that can reflect your personal choice are:

Committal Service
The Committal Service is a brief service at the gravesite after a traditional funeral service but prior to the burial. This is where family and friends say their final good-byes at the final resting place by placing flowers or sometimes sand on the casket. If the committal service is the only service then it becomes what we call a Graveside Service and is accompanied by a visitation the night before. The graveside service is a more lengthy service consisting of scripture reading, eulogy, poetry, and music.

Cremation
Just because a family has chosen cremation does not mean that a funeral ceremony to honor the person who has died can not take place. There are several options such as a visitation or gathering of family and friends at the funeral home or another location. A funeral or memorial service can take place either before or after cremation. This service can, again, take place either at the funeral home, place of worship or any other location you may choose.

Every service is tailored to the family at Bruce's and we want to make sure that you are aware of all the options and choices that are available to you. The personalization of your ceremony can be accomplished by:
