Our hope is that families find our facilities spacious, comfortable and suited
to their needs.
Chapel ~ Our chapel can comfortably seat approximately 110
people. The subtle and warm coloring of the room makes it a soothing and serene
place for visitations and services.
Kitchen ~ All of the families we serve have complete access to
our full kitchen facilities. Often, visitations occur over the dinner hour, so
we encourage families to bring food for themselves (and others, if they wish)
so that they are comfortable during their stay at our home. We provide coffee,
water and lemonade for all visitations.
Arrangement Conference Area ~ While making funeral arrangements
or preplanning services, families meet with us at our large, round table just
off the kitchen. Many families gather around their kitchen or dining room table
to eat as a family, to talk about important matters, or to simply reminisce. We
hope that families feel as “at home” at our table as they do at their own;
however, if families prefer to meet in the comfort of their own home, the staff
at Russell Funeral Home will honor that wish. This area serves several other
purposes as well:
For visitations, it can be used as a children’s play area, complete with a 36”
plasma TV for viewing DVDs or children’s programming from our satellite system.
If a family wishes to have a meal at the table during visitation, they can view
the chapel at the same time so as not to miss seeing any special relatives or
guests.
During funeral or memorial services, this area can be set up with chairs for an
overflow area to accommodate approximately 20 people. Parents or other
caregivers can also use the area as a “cry room” for fussy children. They won’t
miss one minute of the service since it is broadcast on the television.
Our television, DVD and camera equipment also enables us to record services
onto DVD for families to keep as a treasured memento of the tribute to their
loved one.
Selection Room ~ Our display includes several caskets and
numerous urns and keepsakes from the Batesville Casket Company, numerous urns and keepsakes and a selection of
vaults. We have
access to numerous other selections as well that can be chosen from our
catalogs of inventory available.
Patio Areas ~ We offer patio areas with tables and chairs near
the front door and off the back door for family and guest use in mild weather.
Our building features central heating and cooling and is completely handicap
accessible.
