Burial Service Information

At Honan Funeral Home, we want to make sure that you are well informed about the different types of burial packages available.  We think that this is important so that you can make the right choice about how to say goodbye to a loved one, or pre-plan your own funeral.

First of all, what is a burial service? That might seem like a trivial question, but we find that we often have people come to us who do not know the purpose of a burial or how it is structured. The resources and pages below will provide clarity.
