A viewing is helpful for those who need to see their loved one more time before their final farewell.  If a family member or close friends has not been with the deceased for quite some time, a viewing can be especially comfortable.
We have two types of viewings.
A short viewing for up to 10 people for 45 minutes or less.  Embalming is usually not required for a viewing of this type.
A longer viewing for up to 3 hours provides family members and friends to view the deceased over a span of time to allow individuals to have a moment with the deceased for their opportunity to say their final farewell.  The longer viewing can be held the evening prior to a funeral or memorial service or just prior to the service.
