The staff of Brooks Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc. is licensed to handle the requests and needs of all families. Our facility is designed to offer families many options when planning services as well as privacy and comfort.

Many options are available when planning a funeral and our staff strives to be flexible in order to provide every requested detail. We handle the details associated with arranging services which can include but are not limited to contacting and coordinating clergy, musicians, pall bearers, hairdressers, cemeteries, military, fraternal organizations, florists, monument company, airlines, etc. Our staff also handles composing and publishing obituaries, composing and printing funeral bulletins, prayer cards, etc. Professional audio and video recording of funerals is also available. We additionally handle the filing of the death certificate, life insurance claims, notifying Social Security, the Veterans Administration, etc. We have a complete line of caskets, vaults and clothing available with varying prices to meet individual or family needs when planning a traditional funeral. A traditional funeral service refers to arrangements that generally involve but are not limited to viewing, visitation, a funeral ceremony at our chapel or a church (with the necessary automotive equipment) and interment to follow at a cemetery. Cremation, burial at sea, disinterment/reinterment, arrangements for transportation into and out of the state or country are some of the non-traditional services we offer.

There are many options when arranging cremation services. Direct cremations are cremations that occur without viewing, visitation or ceremony. Memorial services are offered and are generally held after cremation takes place. Traditional viewings, visitations and funerals can be combined with cremation occurring after the funeral. We have an on-premises crematory and offer a complete line of cremation caskets, urns and urn vaults. Burial or scattering of the cremated remains can be arranged through our staff. If a family wishes to be present for the scattering at sea, we can make arrangements with an appropriate vessel and licensed captain.

We encourage as much preplanning as possible. The best decisions tend to be made when there is sufficient time to ask questions and make more informed decisions and choices. You may review and submit information that is required when making arrangements by visiting our prearrangement page on this web site.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
