To meet the needs of those families who choose cremation, we at Forbis and Dick Funeral Service place a special emphasis on assisting those individuals. Forbis and Dick Funeral Service is the only funeral home in Guilford County with an on-site crematory.

Cremation is viewed as a very viable option to earth burial. As members of the Cremation Association of North America (CANA) and the Cremation Association of North Carolina (CANC) we offer a sense of integrity and dignity as it relates to cremation. We present cremation with high integrity and emphasize the importance of proper memorialization. It is vital that the family or individual understand when cremation is chosen, the options are many.

Every year millions of Americas arrange their funerals in advance. They explore their options for a ceremony, they discuss costs, and they set up a plan with the professionals in their community to ensure they will have the funeral they choose.

An old saying reminds us that caring for the dead is the highest form of kindness because it can never be repaid. In the same way, bringing peace of mind to our loved ones when they can no longer repay us is a gift of love to those we cherish.

Arranging a funeral in advance is more important than ever, as today's social traditions adapt to the demand for creative , personal legacies. Prearranging a funeral can take away uncertainty about our wishes, eliminate potential disagreements and address financial concerns.
