Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in cremation, the funeral home team can explain the process and different options. From a direct cremation without a memorial service or a witness cremation to a full funeral service before or after the cremation and more, we help you understand this increasingly common choice—and handle all of the cremation arrangements.

That's why all of our services are designed to help you through this personal experience, and we're committed to delivering care before, during and after the service.

Ratings & Reviews

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"Our dad had pre-paid his funeral. This is a wonderful option Collier/Butler Funeral Home allows a loved one to do which allows someone to plan and pick out the things they like, and saves loved ones from making the difficult decision during an already emotional time. The decisions that were left to be made were walked through one by one, as if we had all the time in the world to decide. The staff was kind, caring, and sympathetic to our needs and loss. We weren't just another customer in line. I have so much thanks and gratitude for Collier/Butler and all that they do."
