Families often wonder: “If we choose cremation, can we still have a traditional funeral or visitation?” The answer is yes. Cremation simply refers to how your loved one is cared for after the service, but you can still gather for a visitation, religious or non-religious ceremony, or celebration of life. Just as you would with burial. Many families find comfort in blending meaningful traditions with the flexibility cremation offers.

Personal touches can transform a farewell into a true celebration of a life well-lived. At Hoskins Funeral Homes, we offer personalized casket inserts that reflect the unique personality and story of your loved one. From embroidered names and meaningful symbols to custom designs inspired by hobbies or favourite colours, these thoughtful details allow families to honour their loved one in a way that feels authentic and memorable.

Many families have shared how a personalized casket insert became a cherished keepsake—a lasting reminder of the special bond they shared. It’s these small acts of care that can bring comfort and help create a meaningful goodbye. Our staff is always available to discuss options and offer guidance on how to make a service truly personal.

Have you ever attended a service where a unique touch stood out to you? How did it make you feel, and would you consider something similar for your own arrangements? We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences as we continue to serve Central Newfoundland with compassion and creativity.

July 1st holds deep meaning in Newfoundland and Labrador. While we come together to celebrate Canada Day, we also honour Memorial Day—a time to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who served at Beaumont-Hamel and beyond. Their bravery shaped the path for our communities and families. As we gather with loved ones, we stand in gratitude and remembrance, ensuring their legacy lives on. Lest we forget.
