Comprehensive Services Offered for Funeral and Cremation in Republic, MO

 

Options for traditional full funeral services and more modern, alternative style services will be supported at Walnut Lawn Funeral Home. It all comes down to our client’s preferences. For full funeral service packages, we can tailor the services to fit the following ceremony types:

  • Traditional funeral services, including an open casket viewing or visitation meeting if desired.
  • Graveside services are generally short services held with a small gathering at the burial site. During the service, the casket will be interred.
  • A traditional funeral with a cremation ceremony following the service.
  • Immediate or direct burial means there will not be a public service connected with the interment of the deceased.
  • Military and veteran ceremonies will be offered for those who are eligible.

The Degraffenreid-Wood Crematory side of our services was added to our onsite facilities in 2013. We have been delighted to offer these cremation services directly to our customers. Having total control of the process means we can more effectively guarantee your loved one's security and respectful care.

 

Please remember that cremation as a means for final disposition does not exclude the possibility of a funeral. If a funeral is desired, the remains will be transferred to our crematory instead of being entombed at the close of the services. It can be a very healing experience for the bereaved loved ones to have a full funeral. If funeral and cremation in Republic, MO, are being selected, we are with you through the entire process.

 

Our cremation services package can be adapted for various circumstances, including:

  • Simple, direct cremation services. As with direct burial, this typically does not include a public honoring service.
  • Cremation with memorial service is often held after the cremation takes place. The venue can vary, but our funeral home is certainly an option for the location of the service.
  • Traditional funeral service with cremation following. As discussed above, these can be combined. The cost of a rented casket is included in this package option.

 

Keepsakes Available

Our team is pleased to offer keepsake memorabilia that can be ordered as arrangements are made. One offer we have available is cremation jewelry. This can be an excellent way to keep a small part of your loved one nearby in the years to come. Also available are tribute videos and slideshows that can be used as part of your service as well.

 

Honoring Veterans

Consistent with MO law, all of our military and veteran services will be given free of charge. Please have the deceased serviceman or woman’s DD-214 or their honorable discharge paperwork available to verify eligibility. All qualifying servicemen and women will, at minimum, receive the following:

  • Honor guard detail
  • The playing of taps by bugle or recording
  • Final folding and presentation of the US flag to the designated family member

Other services that may be available include:

  • The draping of the casket with the American flag
  • Three rounds of rifle volleys that represent duty, honor, and country
  • The final salute

Honoring veterans and grieving is an important part of our country's history. Let us take time to honor those who have served this nation in times gone by as well as grieve with them if they are experiencing loss due the death or departure from service members at home community sites like military bases where services are carried out during regular hours on days set aside just for these types activities. The US Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) also has extensive benefits for veterans and their families. We will gladly assist you in getting connected with this department to learn more.
