Create Healing Experiences
In the depth of early grief, you might think that it would be ‘easier’ to just take care of things as simply – and as quickly –as possible. But easier – especially in this circumstance – simply isn’t better. You must set the stage for the future by giving your family and friends the opportunity to start the healing process.

Funeral Services
Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whatever type of service you choose, we will help you make it memoriable and meaningful for your family and friends. We can help you create a unique ceremony to express the genuine individuality of your loved one.
We offer beautiful settings in which to come together to honor your loved one. We offer a selection of three distinctive chapels and a varity of outdoor settings. Some families prefer to have the services at their church, and at Bryan-Braker we are supportive of having services at your place of worship. Don't worry there would be no additional charge. There are funeral home that have a 10 or 15 mile service area before additional transportation charges are incurred. At Bryan-Braker we have a more liberal view and our local service area is anywhere up to 50 miles. So a loved one could pass away in Sacramento, have a visitation in Fairfield, and the burial can take place in San Francisco, and there would be no additional charges.

No matter where you decide to gather together, we can help you plan a service that will make a difference in the lives of family and friends.

Burial Services
If burial has been selected, usually any ceremonies we design revolve around the casket being present. You can choose to follow tradition, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in a church or memorial chapel. Or you could decide to have a more relaxed service, even in your family home.
Let’s just say this: there is no ‘hard and fast’ formula for honoring your loved one when burial has been selected. We’re here to listen to your concerns, share our experience, and help you to arrive at the perfect way to gather together before your loved one's interment in the cemetery of your choice.

Cremation Services
Cremation only refers to the manner in which you or your loved one has chosen to deal with the physical remains. We want you to know that this decision doesn’t limit the ways you can honor your loved one's life. We heartily suggest that you have a funeral or memorial service, because your need for such a healing experience is not lessened by the decision to be cremated. Again, the options are limited only by your imagination. We hope that you will contact us to discuss the wide variety of celebratory options open to you.

You Can Never Go Back and Do it Over
Some say it’s harsh to remind you of this, but we know we must. We want you to honor your loved one in a way that allows you to look back, years from now, and be thankful that you did the best you could to honor their life. Creating a ceremony that calls together the hearts and minds of all who loved them is a gift to everyone involved. A gift of memories, a gift of healing...a truly priceless gift of peace-of-mind.
