Decades of experience have proven that pre-planning is one way to make arrangements without the pressure and grief of an unexpected situation.

Traditional Funeral
Helps confirm the reality and finality of death..... a way for the community to pay its respects and a way to memorialize a life has been lived.

Cremation Services
Some people are surprised to learn that cremation is only the final disposition of the body, and may include all the aspects of a traditional funeral. Visitation or viewing with a funeral ceremony and church or memorial service are options that are available to families that choose cremation. Families can have a visitation with the deceased viewed in a casket followed by a funeral service. A memorial service is an option for those who choose cremation but do not want a visitation and funeral service with the deceased's body present. At the time of death an immediate cremation takes place at the earliest time allowable. A memorial service is then held afterwards, usually but not always with the remains present.

Preplanning:
Providing vital information for legal documents and permits, make important decisions with long lasting affects and getting informed of the many choices as well as costs involved in funeral services. Many of us spend more time on purchasing a car than planning a funeral. Preplanning allows families, in an unemotional and comfortable environment, to make personal decisions that will affect survivors for years to come, pre-funding may have financial benefits as well.

This is a FREE service with no obligation, designed specifically to provide you with an alternative way of considering funeral arrangements at your time of need.

What happens if a loved one dies out of our local area or out of the state or country?
It has been said that in life 3 things are for sure: Taxes, Life Changes and Death. One of these items can be timed and planned for, one can not. In the event of a death out of your local area, Esperanza Family Funeral Home is able to assist families in either the shipping out or the receiving of your loved ones remains, so that funeral services can be held in a timely fashion.

Code for good funeral practice
As Funeral directors, our calling imposes on us special responsibilities, to those we serve and to the public at large. Providing funeral services with compassion and dignity is foremost, the other is the obligation to provide information to the public, so that everyone can make an informed and knowledgeable choice about funerals and funeral directors, in their time of need.
It has been estimated that some 200 separate tasks are involved in planning a funeral. Be assured Esperanza Family Funeral Home will manage all of them with respect, compassion and honesty. But ultimately funeral direction is not about ordering flowers or placing death notices or any of the 200 activities. It is about the quality of our services - - Standing beside you in a very personalized way, at a most difficult time.
