Clothing and Personal Items

It is common to use a full set of clothing, including underwear, socks or stockings, and sometime even shoes if so desired.  Long sleeved garments are recommended. 

Personal items such as eye glasses and jewelry may be brought in.  Typically, jewelry items are removed prior to closing the casket.  However if your family prefers to have a particular piece of jewelry left on your loved one, simply inform us.  Many families choose to donate their loved one's eye glasses to the Lion's Club, which are then passed on to other people in need. 

 We are always happy to accommodate any special requests you may have.
