A Full-Service Provider for Funeral and Cremation in Battlefield, MO

Walnut Lawn Funeral Home, Ltd. DeGraffenreid-Wood-Crematory offers a full panel of services for funeral and cremation. Funeral services will be tailored to each family's individual desires and needs. A funeral service is a traditional service that has been recognized and utilized from generation to generation. Our complete funeral package can accommodate the following ceremonies:

  • Traditional services, with or without a visitation and viewing before the honoring ceremony. This often ends with burial in a cemetery.
  • Graveside service is typically held at the burial site, with close family and friends present and staying through interment.
  • Traditional funeral service followed by cremation can also be chosen if desired.
  • Direct or Immediate burial is an option where there is not a connected public service or gathering. In some cases, a memorial service may be held at a future date.
  • Military and veteran services are supported to honor those who have served their country.

The on-site crematory was added to our facility in 2013. This allows us greater flexibility and greater control of the process when offering cremation services. Since your loved one never leaves our oversight, we can guarantee the process with our rigorous protocols and standard of care. It can be helpful to remember that cremation does not exclude the possibility of a full funeral service.

 

After the funeral services are complete, instead of transferring to a cemetery for interment, the remains can be cremated prior to the final disposition. In this way, funeral and cremation in Battlefield, MO, can be paired together for a complete supportive experience. Our cremation service package includes options for the following:

  • Direct or simple cremation. Like direct burial, this option does not involve a connected public gathering or event.
  • Cremation with memorial service can be held at a venue of your choosing, including our funeral home or the cemetery.
  • Traditional funeral service followed by cremation (includes a rental casket).

As a full-service provider, we can also help you with the selection of necessary merchandise. Essential needed items such as caskets, burial vaults, urns, etc., all have a good variety. Our team has also curated things that are nice to have, such as thumbprint or cremation jewelry, and other keepsake offerings.

 

Special Perks for Veterans

As mandated by law, our military honoring services are free of charge. Eligibility will be confirmed with the veteran’s DD-214 or honorable discharge paperwork. Our team will respectfully support veteran cremation or traditional veteran burial packages according to the selection chosen. The playing of taps and the folding and presentation of the American flag with honor guard detail are standard services.

 

It is also possible to have the casket draped with the U.S.flag, as well as a three-volley rifle salute at the graveside. There are many benefits available through the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs. We can connect you and help you communicate with that department to access these services as if they are desired. It is our great honor to do just a small part to honor these heroes!

 

Livestream Services to Connect Loved Ones
