Is this the right choice?

Who this is for — and who it isn't

A good fit when

  • Families who want a viewing or visitation before the service
  • Families holding the service at a church, stake center or our Avenues chapel
  • Families who want burial afterward, with the committal included
  • Veterans and their families who want honors coordinated

Probably not the right fit if

  • —Families who have chosen cremation with no service; see direct cremation at $650
  • —Families who want to gather weeks later without the body present; a memorial service fits better

Questions families ask

Funeral service questions

We're here to answer your questions about funeral services with transparency and compassion.

Funeral service costs vary based on your choices and preferences. At Inspired Funeral Home a traditional funeral without visitation is $1,895 and with a two-hour visitation and embalming it is $2,195, before casket, cemetery and vault. Every itemized charge is on our General Price List. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss all options and costs upfront so you can make informed decisions without pressure or surprises.

Absolutely. Personalization is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with families to create services that truly reflect your loved one's unique personality, values, and life story. This can include special music, meaningful readings, photo or video tributes, personal memorabilia displays, and ceremony elements that honor cultural or religious traditions. No two lives are the same, and no two funeral services should be either.

A funeral service traditionally takes place with the deceased present, either in a casket or with cremated remains, and typically occurs within a few days of death. A memorial service is held without the body present, usually after burial or cremation has already occurred, allowing more flexibility in timing and planning. Both types of services can be traditional or contemporary, religious or secular, and both honor your loved one's memory.

Yes. As a veteran-owned funeral home, we take special pride in serving those who served our country. We coordinate military honors including flag presentation, Taps, and honor guard services. We also assist with VA burial benefits, provide burial flags, and ensure veterans receive the dignified, respectful service they earned. We understand military traditions and can help families navigate VA benefits and paperwork.

There is no strict timeline. Traditional funerals typically occur within 3-7 days, but families have flexibility based on their circumstances. If family members are traveling from out of state or you need time to plan a personalized service, we can accommodate your timeline. If you choose cremation, there is even more flexibility as memorial services can be held weeks or months later. We guide you at your own pace without rushing decisions.

Yes. While our funeral home offers a beautiful facility for services, we can also coordinate funeral or memorial services at churches, temples, other houses of worship, or meaningful locations. We work closely with clergy and venue coordinators to ensure seamless planning and execution, providing professional support wherever you choose to hold the service.

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to serve families. When you contact us, our licensed funeral directors respond immediately with compassion and professionalism.

Even during urgent situations, we ensure every detail receives careful attention.
