Services
Buggs describes itself as a full-service funeral home with a focus on traditional service offerings. Services listed on its website include:
- Traditional funeral services: visitation, a funeral service in the funeral home chapel, a church or another venue, and a graveside or committal service. The funeral home also works with life celebrants for families who do not choose clergy.
- Memorial services held without the body present, often after cremation.
- Graveside ceremonies, including at Buggs Street Community Cemetery, which the funeral home owns. Families are welcome to choose any cemetery.
- Cremation: basic and full-service cremation options, including a traditional funeral followed by cremation, and a memorial service. Because Buggs owns and operates its own crematory, it says your loved one never leaves its care throughout the process.
- Veterans services: help requesting military funeral honors and completing forms for benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
- Preplanning, including an online preplanning form and discussion of funding options.
- Grief support, including a year of weekly grief support emails.
- Shipping and collaboration with other funeral homes when a death occurs away from home or burial will be elsewhere.
- Personalization: online memorials, tribute videos, live streaming for family who cannot attend, and help ordering flowers through local florists.
According to its website, the funeral home’s owner and president received a national Funeral Director of the Year award in 2018, and the business is run by the Buggs family, who are licensed funeral directors and embalmers.
