Traditional funerals. Hughes Mortuary arranges viewings and visitations, funeral services and graveside services, and helps families with burial.

Cremation. Families can hold a traditional funeral followed by cremation, a memorial service at the mortuary's chapel, a church or another venue, or a graveside gathering. For the cremated remains, the mortuary's cremation page covers keeping an urn at home, placing it in a columbarium niche, burying the urn, or scattering the remains in a meaningful place.

Personalization. Hughes produces personal tribute videos that can play at the service and online, and families can add photo collages on easels, slideshows on flat-screen monitors, live or recorded music, artwork and favorite readings.

Grief support. Families Hughes serves can sign up for a free year of grief support emails. The website also has articles on the grieving process, helping children through grief, funeral etiquette and Social Security survivor benefits.

Pricing. The website has a General Price List page. Federal rules require funeral homes to give families an itemized price list, so ask for it when comparing options.
