Core offerings include traditional funerals, celebration of life services, three cremation options (direct, with memorial, or full service then cremation), green burial, pre-planning, monuments and headstones, an aftercare grief support program, and specialty memorial products such as Eternity's Touch fingerprint jewelry, exclusive LifeGem created diamonds, and locally created floral tributes.

Product overview

Cornerstone Funeral Home & Crematorium offers a comprehensive suite of funeral and memorial services as a single-location provider.
