Services
At Bessemer Brown Services Funeral Home, we are committed to providing a professional service with a personal, family-centered touch, and gently guiding a family through what is naturally a difficult time, to make the experience as comforting as possible. We offer a variety of services ranging from prearrangements to Traditional and Cremation services. “Honoring Life and Celebrating Memories” is more than a slogan, it the sacred responsibility of every member of our staff; before, during, and after the funeral.
At our Funeral Home, you will find a comfortable and welcoming interior, easily accessible, with ample accommodations to receive family and friends.
We offer a wide range of funeral services and support information. Whether for at-need funeral services, or to discuss any aspect of prearranged services, you can rely on a long-standing tradition of individual attention to specific wishes, customs, or religious considerations. There is a program to meet your individual wishes and means.
Each service can be tailored to meet the needs of our families. The following services are a guideline and can be adjusted easily for a custom tribute to a life. We offer the following services:
Traditional Service is a service that includes a visitation, funeral service, and graveside service. This is the most common form of service. It also includes Funeral Counseling, licensed personnel for arranging and directing visitation, funeral service and committal service, recording vital statistics, securing necessary permits, filing and obtaining death certificates and other forms and claims, preparing the obituary for the newspaper and aftercare services to the family.
Graveside Service is a service that is conducted at the graveside. This service may or may not follow a visitation. It also includes Funeral Counseling, licensed personnel for arranging and directing visitation, funeral service and committal service, recording vital statistics, securing necessary permits, filing and obtaining death certificates and other forms and claims, preparing the obituary for the newspaper and aftercare services to the family.
Immediate Burial Service is a service we provide that has no visitation or funeral service. It also includes Funeral Counseling, licensed personnel for arranging and directing the burial, recording vital statistics, securing necessary permits, filing and obtaining death certificates and other forms and claims, preparing the obituary for the newspaper and aftercare services to the family.
Cremation Services is a service that can be done directly or include a visitation and funeral service before cremation. We offer a solid oak rental casket for those choosing a visitation and funeral. It also includes Funeral Counseling, licensed personnel for arranging and directing visitation, funeral service and committal service, recording vital statistics, securing necessary permits, filing and obtaining death certificates and other forms and claims, preparing the obituary for the newspaper and aftercare services to the family.
Memorial Service is a service without the deceased present. This service is usually offered after cremation or immediate burial. This allows for a service to be scheduled at a convenient time for family and friends. It also includes Funeral Counseling, licensed personnel for arranging and directing visitation, funeral service, recording vital statistics, securing necessary permits, filing and obtaining death certificates and other forms and claims, preparing the obituary for the newspaper and aftercare services to the family.
Pre-Arrangement Service is a service we offer to assist with the planning of the passing of yourself or a family member. By making the arrangement decisions yourself, you can tailor them to your own preferences. Even if you casually discuss these wishes at home amongst yourselves, it can’t cover all the choices and options that can be presented. These decisions would be better made by you with the help of your funeral professional, at a time when there is no grief or stress involved. That way, all your wishes will be honored, and without the unnecessary burden on your loved ones, trying to second guess what you might have wanted. You will also have the opportunity to determine how and when you would like your final arrangements to be handled. This can be done by contacting us directly at 205-425-2424.
