| Wilson St. Pierre recognizes that our community is comprised of diverse preferences of religion. We encourage families to bring favorite things to the visitation, which gives others a chance to share and remember. You will find our funeral home is responsive to your needs and wishes. By offering a wide range of services, each family has the ability to create a meaningful and appropriate way to remember their loved one.
When a death occurs, there are certain criteria, mandated by law, which must be recognized and requirements fulfilled as a routine matter. Beyond this, the coordination of services and disposition choices are determined by your family. Our staff of licensed Funeral Directors will assist you and offer any guidance you may require.
Providing You Options
Our funeral home offers cremation options, advance planning, and grief recovery programs. We also provide local churches and civic organizations availability to our Speakers Bureau--in which we can discuss a wide array of topics related to anything from Advance Funeral Planning and Veteran & Social Security Benefits to Living Wills.
Online Tributes
In the lobbies of our Greenwood ans South Side chapels, we offer the memory Guard memorial Kiosk for our families to use. These memorial terminals allow a family to create an online tribute of their loved one that includes photos, slide shows, obituary information, timeline of events, memories of family and friends, and much more.
