| Traditional Funeral Ending With Burial |
| |
This service option incorporates all of the aspects traditionally
thought of regarding a funeral, such as an open casket visitation with
a funeral service the following morning. The funeral service can take
place at a church with a procession or within the funeral home. This
service option would also include a procession to a cemetery, followed
by a burial. |
| Traditional Funeral Ending With Cremation |
| |
This service option incorporates all of the aspects of a Traditional
Funeral ending with burial, except that cremation is chosen as final
disposition. There can still be an open casket visitation, funeral
service or mass, and even a procession to a cemetery chapel for a final
committal. However, when the services are completed, the remains are
directed to a crematorium instead of a grave for burial. The option
always remains to have the cremains buried at a later time. |
| Funeral With Visitation At Time Of Service |
| |
This service option allows for the condensing of the funeral services
from two or more days into one. An open casket visitation would be
held in the morning, prior to any formal funeral services taking place.
Again, the funeral service itself can take place at a church or within
the funeral home. This service, like the Traditional Funeral options,
can end with a burial or cremation. |
| Direct Burial |
| |
This service option is the simplest with regard to services ending
with a burial. This option would allow for the director to oversee
the burial of the remains at a cemetery of the family’s choice.
Additional options are available to facilitate a graveside service
with a minister or priest of the family ’s choice. |
| Direct Cremation |
| |
This service option is the simplest with regard to final disposition
of the remains being cremated. In this case, the director will oversee
the cremation of the remains and the return of the cremains to the
family. Additional options are available to facilitate a memorial service,
graveside service with burial, or scattering of the cremains. |
| Anatomical Gift |
| |
This service option is available for people who want their remains
donated to scientific study. In this case, the director oversees the
transfer of the remains to the Anatomical Gift Association for further
preparation and assignation to a local university for study. Additional
options are available to facilitate a memorial visitation or memorial
service. |
| Pre-planning |
| |
The option is also available to pre-arrange and also to pre-fund
any type of service. |
| Out of Town Services |
| |
We at the Gibbons Family Funeral Home are sensitive
to the possibility that the deceased may have wanted to
be interred outside of the metropolitan Chicago area, such as in their
hometown,
or country of their national ancestral origin.We are able
to have the remains transported to any of the United States, or to
many other countries
around the world. |
| Note: There are many additional options that can be added or subtracted
from any of the service options. All of these service options can be
adapted to meet each family's individual needs and wants. A detailed
list of the costs involved with each type of service can be found on
our General Price List. |
