What services does Gunderson provide?

We offer traditional burial, cremation, memorial services, celebrations of life, green burial options, pre-planning, grief resources, and assistance with paperwork such as death certificates and Social Security notifications.

Can services be personalized?

Absolutely. We work closely with families to incorporate hobbies, interests, music, readings, and meaningful details that reflect a loved one’s life and personality.

Can services be held somewhere other than a funeral home?

Yes. Services can take place in churches, community spaces, cemeteries, or other meaningful locations. We’ll help coordinate the details.

Can I still have a viewing and funeral service with cremation?

Yes. Cremation does not limit your ability to have a visitation, service, or celebration of life before or after the cremation takes place.

Why have a viewing?

A viewing offers family and friends the opportunity to gather, reflect, and say goodbye. For many, it provides an important step in acknowledging the loss and beginning the healing process.

Can we have a viewing if my loved one had an autopsy or donated organs?

In most cases, yes. These circumstances typically do not prevent a viewing.

What is green burial?

Green burial focuses on simplicity and environmental sustainability, using biodegradable materials and avoiding embalming chemicals and vaults while preserving natural burial spaces.
