Throughout The United States the "American Traditional Funeral" was established as a customary element of the "American Traditional Family". Historically, the "American Traditional Funeral" primarily consisted of the deceased being properly embalmed, cosmetized, dressed and placed in a casket. This enabled the family to come to closure by viewing the deceased while preparations were being scheduled for a church, home, funeral home, or graveside service. Prior to the 1950's most "wakes" were held in the family home. Today, even with the newness of cremation, we still see much of the same details that were widely utilized by our ancestral families. Seagle Funeral Home has been a traditional piece of importance to many families in Southwest Virginia since our formal beginnings in 1880. Through our experienced, and licensed owners we are continuing to provide the same traditional services with a modern touch of class.
A well planned service warms the soul and illuminates the memory. With cremation, the options for a more meaningful tribute are limited only by the imagination. In keeping in step with the Traditional American Funeral, one may exercise their choice of selecting a
"Full Service Cremation." One may be embalmed properly, dressed, cosmetized, and placed in an inexpensive cremation casket. The benefits are: (1) allowing a final closure for family and friends, (2) allowing for a traditional service either in a church or the funeral home and cremation to follow.
Your choice for permanent memorialization provides you and your family a lasting focal point for healing and strength - and an ongoing expression of love. Personalization turns an urn into a lasting, cherished treasure. Almost any combination of memorial and message can come together in the perfect tribute.
Our Cremation prices range from $1,590.00 to $6,490.00
Our urn prices range from $175.00 to $1,375.00
Simplicity is defined in the Random House Dictionary as "Freedom From Complexity" Brevity is also defined as "Shortness of Duration" Simplicity and brevity have always been inculcated in many of our requested funerals here at SEAGLES. Our belief has always been that a good funeral director is one that is never seen or heard. Many of our simple funerals have been designed as a classical yet simple graveside service.
One element, other that the computer, that has changed our ways of life has been the mobile family unit. Traditionally families were stationary to one geographical region throughout their generations. Easier access to travel and uncertain job securities have provided most American families with an inconsistent locality that they call home. Here at SEAGLES our licensed staff has always been self sufficient and able to provide a sense of security to our families during a death far away from home. Our knowledge and excellent abilities with domestic colleagues and foreign embassies throughout the world enable us to provide complete shipping services around the globe.
There are many ways that one can express love. One of the most thoughtful involves funeral pre-planning before the need arises. Pre-planning provides peace of mind for everyone involved. A pre-planned service can be the most comforting to your surviving family and spares them from having to face decisions that are very difficult at the time of death.
Before the need arises.......... Our plan is a very sensible and easy plan to utilize. It is without a doubt that many people are pre-planning their funeral with us today. It gives them lasting peace of mind to know that their survivors acted in accordance to their plans. Your plans can be as simple or as detailed as you wish. You may select the services, casket, music etc. or simply record with the funeral director these needs on legal paperwork.
Without cost or obligation....... we will explain exactly the our pre-planning can for you and for your surviving family. We will gladly review the many different options and payment plans to suit your needs, all at your convenience. With our program we offer a variety of prepayment programs which allow you to control cost, avoid emotional overspending, and guarantee today's price. Here at SEAGLES we offer a variety of plans to help you plan for tomorrow within your personal budget. We can meet with you at your home or the funeral home to discuss these various programs. Many firms, especially those owned by large corporations, employ commissioned sales people to perform those duties. However, here at SEAGLES, you would be meeting with a Licensed Funeral Director, and more importantly an owner of the firm who understands your sensitivities and your needs.
Once your pre-arrangements are made...... and on file, when the time of need arises, a call to our funeral home will be the only necessary step to proceed with your plans. If you have already made arrangements with another funeral home, but would now prefer SEAGLES, we have a transfer program that insures your initial decisions are kept intact at SEAGLES.
