Many families who arrange a funeral service find the
need for specialized services in order to meet their
exacting needs. While we can accommodate most any request,
below is a short list of the more commonly utilized
“alternative” services.
Please contact Frederick Funeral Home if you have
any questions or particular needs.
Non-Traditional Burial, Entombment or Cremation
without visitation. For this type of funeral
service, you select the services and merchandise from
several itemized options.
Private family viewings
are available, but may be subject to time limitations.
Please ask one of our staff about setting up a private
viewing for your family.
A Memorial Service
is the same as a traditional service, except the body
is not present for the visitation or the funeral.
The private family viewing explained above also applies
here.
Traditional
Ship-out allows you to select the type of services
and merchandise for local arrangements and then the
remains are shipped out of town for final services.
Limited Graveside Service
is designed for those who want a ground burial or
interment of cremains with a service only at the cemetery.
Itemized options may be selected at the family's discretion.
Limited Family Viewing
with Shipment is designed for those who want
a private family viewing, but no other visitation
prior to shipment of the casketed remains. Itemized
options are also available to the family.
Ship-in Services
are for those who want remains shipped to Frederick
Funeral Home for final services. Itemized options
are available.
Direct Ship-out
is when there is to be no local service and the remains
are to be shipped to a funeral home out of town.
Although law does not require embalming, embalming
may be necessary if you select certain funeral arrangements,
such as a funeral with a viewing. If you do not want
embalming, you have the right to choose an arrangement,
which does not require you to pay for it, such as direct
cremation or immediate burial.
If you choose not to embalm, it is our policy to be
notified prior to transporting the deceased to the funeral
home. A non-embalmed body will be permitted in our funeral
home for no longer than 24 hours.
