Funeral Service Selections
Traditional Religious Service
Cauthen Funeral Home helps families and their religious leaders design services that meet the needs of that particular family while adhering to their religious beliefs. We have conducted services for most major religions and faiths.
Contemporary Religious Service
Some families desire something other than the traditional religious service: a different style or type of music that is performed at the service; Scriptures and other reading may not be what is considered the norm; the officiant may not be an ordained minister. Whatever the need, we will fulfill it.
Non-Religious Contemporary Service
While services of this type are not common in our area, we have helped many families in this regard. While not religious in nature, they are never the less peaceful, gratifying services that meet the needs of the participants. While often using a facilitator rather than a traditional religious leader, the services follow similar orders of service consisting of music, readings and family members or friends speaking of their relationships with, and their memories, of the deceased. We have staff members who have served as facilitators in this type of service and are available to help if needed.
Military Rites
Cauthen Funeral Home will coordinate the military honors for qualified veterans regardless of the branch of service. Our long-term relationships with contact people at various military installations oftentimes allow us to secure honors that would otherwise be denied.
Lodge or Fraternal Rites
Several of our staff are members of various lodges and other organizations that offer their members specific funeral rites. We are knowledgeable in most of the rites and services.
Video Memorial Tribute
We have in-house capabilities for producing video memorial tribute tapes fort the visitation and/or funeral service. There is no charge for this service which compiles to video tape the life and times of the deceased. This production allows the family members to re-live the good times in their life, while expressing and sharing their grief with family and friends.
Aftercare/Community Services
Cauthen Funeral Home is active in aftercare services. We visit families after the services are completed, and keep in touch with them on a periodic schedule, offering to help with insurance, VA, Social Security, Probate Court and other matters. Throughout the year, we offer programs to the citizens of our community to help them adjust after the funeral. These include the Annual Tree of Remembrance and the Christmas Candle Lighting program.
