Burial Options
A funeral is an important part of grieving, and often the first step in the healing process. For thousands of years, funerals have been the preferred means of expressing grief and paying tribute to loved ones.
When dealing with loss and grief, there is no single solution that meets the needs of every individual. The type of service chosen is largely based on the personal preferences of both the survivors and the deceased. The important thing is that you acknowledge the passing of a loved one in a way that is meaningful and helpful in your healing, and that you realize you are not alone.
At Johnson-Peterson Funeral Home, we understand that all the decisions that go into planning a funeral can seem overwhelming. Our trained professionals will help guide you through the process from selecting the type of service to choosing a casket, vault, and other important items.
To help you in your decision, please watch the following video which explains more about the selection process. If you have more questions or are ready to continue this process, please

Burial
When a loved one is buried, it creates a permanent resting place where family and friends can visit for years and generations to come. Burial is an option with or without a graveside service. Once the decision to bury has been made, the location of the final resting place will need to be selected. A member of our staff will help guide you through this process, including choosing a casket and headstone or marker.
Traditional Funeral Service
Funeral services can be held in our chapel, a church, or any location that holds meaning for your family. We work closely with you to design a service that truly reflects your loved one’s life, incorporating stories, music, scripture, or other personal touches. For families who choose not to involve clergy, our funeral directors are available to lead the service. They are specially trained to create meaningful, healing experiences that honor your loved one’s memory and support your journey through grief.
Viewing
A viewing provides an opportunity to say goodbye and pay their respects on a more intimate level. Spending time with the deceased before their service, whether privately or with family and friends, can be profoundly healing and can help those grieving accept their loss and begin to heal.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is usually held immediately after the funeral and offers a meaningful moment of closure. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a larger group of family and friends, this service can be tailored to reflect what feels most personal and fitting for your loved one.
