Double service times are available for an additional fee. Early morning service times are available for a reduced fee.

The coffin is placed onto the catafalque, which will descend, if requested.

Music is available through the Obitus system. The screens in the chapel can be used to display photos and videos. A webcam is available to livestream or record the funeral service.
