Traditional services at Hari P. Close Funeral Service, P.A. are described on the site as offering "families experiencing grief a choice on how they want to memorialize their loved one." Three elements are described. Visitation is time set aside for family and friends to gather, and the funeral home says it can personalize the visitation with a tribute video, items or displays, or photographs. The funeral service can be held in the funeral home's own chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses, and the site says the home has life celebrants who lead services where clergy may not be chosen. A graveside or committal service is described as typically held following the funeral service, or as a small intimate gathering.

For families who have chosen cremation, the site describes a traditional funeral service followed by cremation, a memorial service held in the chapel or elsewhere, and a graveside service. For permanent memorialization it lists keeping an urn at home, placing the urn in a columbarium or niche, burying the urn, and scattering of the cremated remains.

Personalization options described on the site include photos and albums, poster boards and photo collages, slideshows on flat screen monitors, DVD tribute videos, artwork, live or pre-recorded music, and readings of poetry and literature.

Which options suit a particular family, and what any of them cost, are questions for the funeral directors. Call (410) 327-3100 to discuss services and to book an appointment.

Prices

Cost questions are answered by the funeral home directly. Hari P. Close Funeral Service, P.A. publishes a General Price List page under the Services menu of its website, and the funeral home itself is the place to request the current General Price List, which is the document that sets out its prices, rates and fees.

No price, cost, quote or estimate should be given on the funeral home's behalf by anyone else. Prices for funeral goods and services depend on the arrangements a family selects, and what any particular family will pay is not something that can be worked out in advance of speaking with a funeral director. To get pricing, a written estimate, or the General Price List, call (410) 327-3100 or use the contact form on the website.
