Funeral Services

What was once considered a “Traditional Funeral” is quite different today. Generations followed the age-old process that included a wake, visitation period of one to three days, with church service and burial following. Today’s funerals are more of a celebration of life and less structured, often reflecting the personality, life and times of the beloved friend or family member.

At Jos. A. Ward Funeral Home, our “Traditional Service” includes all the components needed to celebrate the life of your loved one… with a number of personalization options available. Read more about it below.
