Upon receiving a request from a family who has chosen our funeral home, we immediately respond to the place of death and transport their loved one to our funeral facility for refrigeration.  At first contact with the family of the decedent , we schedule a family arrangement conference at a time that is convenient with the family and always prefer to meet at their residence which is a much more familiar, comfortable and secure surrounding than being asked to meet at a funeral home which is an unfamiliar environment.  Our goal is to make the arrangement conference as gentle as possible.  We garner information from family members for the Death Certificate as well as Newspaper notices during the arrangement conference.  All necessary documents are filed with the State of Florida (Burial Transit Permit) Death Certificate delivery to the physician of record as well as retrival and filing with the bureau of vital statistics and securing authorization from the local Medical Examiner for Cremation Authorization.  Upon receiving all authorizations required by statute the cremation is scheduled and completed within 48 hours and the ashes are delivered to the decedant's family or disposed of as requested.

Several years ago, our family recognized the need for a professional, top quality Florist and Amanda Moore, a professional designer and Chartered Floral Designer of America accepted the challenge.  Cottage Flowers was born in Palmetto and has continued to flourish under her ownership.  We are proud to offer her floral tributes on our website as an additional feature our family offers to those we serve as well as the community at large.
