Our Services
Jelacic Funeral Home offers many different types of services as a way to meet the many needs of our community. If you desire, we are available to make any or all arrangements in the comfort of your home, which many families prefer.
Funeral with a viewing, followed by a service. Entombment, burial, or cremation takes place after the service at a church, a cemetery chapel or the funeral home. A traditional funeral service is something that has been done for generations by funeral homes for the families they serve. The deceased would be viewed by relatives and friends for an afternoon, early evening, or morning at the funeral home or church, followed by services. Following services, a procession would be made to the cemetery for burial or entombment. As with Option 3 of our cremation offerings, this provides an opportunity for all to say good-bye. It is the most ideal way, in our opinion, to aid families in resolving their grief by viewing the deceased, and face the reality of death. It truly provides final closure.
A traditional funeral includes the full use of the services and expertise of the funeral director and staff, embalming and other preparation of the deceased, use of our facility for viewing and funeral services or other facility such as a church or cemetery chapel, committal service, and needed transportations. This does not include the casket, burial vault (needed only for earth burials), limousine, memorial cards, service programs/obituaries, death certificates, death notices, clergy honorarium, musician or cantor honorarium, flowers, funeral lunch, cemetery charges, cemetery charges for the grave or crypt and its opening charges, and a grave marker.
