Memorial Services



A memorial service is a gathering held to honor and celebrate a loved one’s life. Unlike a traditional funeral service, the casket is not present. Memorial services can take place days, weeks, or even months after a death, giving families time to plan a meaningful tribute.


These services can be held at our funeral home, a church, a park, or another special location. Families often include music, photos, readings, and shared memories to create a personalized tribute.


If a loved one has passed, please call 636-940-1000  to speak with a funeral director who will guide you through the next steps and answer any questions you may have.

Why Families Choose a Memorial Service

Families often choose a memorial service because it allows for flexibility and a personal touch. Some of the most common reasons include:



  • Cremation has taken place first
  • Loved ones are traveling from out of town
  • Planning a meaningful Celebration of Life
  • A private burial has already occurred

What Can be Included

Memorial services can be traditional, religious, or non-religious. Each service can be tailored to reflect the personality, and life of your loved one.  Some choose to include:


  • A time for family and friends to share memories
  • Video tribute slideshows
  • Photo displays
  • Religious or spiritual readings
  • Favorite music or live performances
  • Military honors
  • A reception or gathering after services.


Our funeral directors will work closely with your family to create a service that truly reflects your loved one.
