Planning a Funeral Service
Funeral services are tailored toward personal requests at the funeral home, family residence, or at a place convenient to the family. The service can be a traditional religious ceremony or a more contemporary service, depending on the family's wishes.

Because every individual is unique, every funeral service should also be unique. From the type of casket to the style of prayer cards, to the music that is chosen, The Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home has been personalizing funerals since 1947 by offering families choices. Our state of the art sound and video systems play cassettes, CDs or even a personal video presentation on VHS or DVD. Custom memorial folders are printed with a picture and a verse or poem.

Memory Boards and Displays
Families are encouraged to bring in special items in memory of their loved one. Photos, hobbies and special interest items are displayed using magnetic picture boards, corkboards and presentation tables, which encourage friends and family to commemorate and reminisce the life of their loved one.

Memory Videos
The funeral home offers a Memory Video that incorporates family photos with music. The video is generally shown during the visitation period, becoming an invaluable treasure to the family.

Share a Memory
Special note cards are provided for funeral guests to write their special memories to share with the family. The cards are gathered and presented to the family following the service.

Special Music
If the funeral service is held at the funeral home, we have the ability to play background music, as well as music for the service through our sound system; we are both cassette tape and compact disc compatible. If the service is held at a church, please speak with your funeral director or clergyperson about any special requests.

We also have requests for bagpipers or other musicians to be present at the interment services at the cemetery; again, let us know if this is of interest. We can also provide an electronic keyboard for a service at the funeral home.

Luncheons
Many families have luncheons or get-togethers following funeral services. We will be glad to assist you with arranging your luncheon, either in your home, at a restaurant or club, or in your church.

Ceremonies for Veterans
We can assist you with all branches of military services for deceased Veterans and help to arrange full military honors, if eligible. At the graveside services or at the conclusion of services if there is no interment, a relative of the veteran is presented with the flag. The spouse or eldest child of the veteran is the customary recipient. If there is a desire to have a particular person receive the flag, the funeral director should be informed before the conclusion of these services. The Red Rose Honor Guard can be requested to attend the service to fold and present the flag or have a bugler play "Taps".
