Native American Cultures
We have been very sensitive to the needs and requests of the Native Americans that reside on the St. Regis Mohawk Indian Reservation, which lies in both the United States and Canada. In many of the traditions of the Mohawks, they wish to have their loved ones brought back to the Reservation for viewing, funeral services, and burial. In keeping within the Native American tradition, some families wish to dress their loved ones before being placed in the casket; in which we respect their request.
Services offered to Native Americans include, but are not limited to:
Traditional Services with Visitation at the Family Home or other Facility
This selection allows a family to have the visitation at the family home or other location, followed by a religious or traditional funeral service. Following the funeral services, the deceased may be buried or cremated.
We value the respect and friendships that we have gained with the Native Americans.
