Funeral Services are becoming more personalized. The use of photos, video, eulogists, and any other interactive experience, which incorporates the personality, and life of the deceased to create a service that is custom made. At the George G. Bensing Funeral Home, Inc. we are here to assist families in creating a custom made service of remembrance; a celebration of a life lived. Our time and attentions are directed toward services and ceremonies that are more personal for family and friends. We believe this is vital to healing. A service that focuses on a person now gone from us and the life they lived with the people who loved them. It's those who are left behind to remember, let us remember well.

Our fee for professional services includes all this and more. This fee for our services and overhead is added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select.

Funeral Services and Memorial Services can be held at our facility or can be held at any location the family chooses. Viewing's can be held the night before or the day of the service. And with the family's permission we accommodate those who want to pay their respects at times other than when the family will be present.

A note on embalming: Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary; however, if you select arrangements such as a funeral with a public viewing, or a cremation service with a public viewing. If you do not want embalming you have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require it, such as direct burial, or direct cremation. The next of kin must give permission for embalming. In the event a family chooses a service without embalming we own and operate a crematory facility with attached refrigeration unit on premises to maintain high standards of dignity and respect and insure the best quality service that can be provided. If you desire another crematory we can supply the names of other crematories and their prices upon request.
