Let Elda Jean Gateskill's family know that you are thinking of them.
We take great pride in the services we provide to our families and believe the memorial service is just as important in helping families through the grieving process as a funeral service. Becker Funeral Homes has invested in an urn ark, which offers a more suitable and dignified means of honoring a life. The ark was designed and built here in Poland by John Marchese. The urn is protected inside a glass and wood encasement, which rest on an urn bier that is higher than a table. The encasement lends reverence and dignity to the human remains as a casket does. A crucifix or cross can rest on the encasement such as it would rest on a casket, regardless of the style of urn. Many times the urn is in the style of a vase and the cross or crucifix is placed to the side. A spray of flowers can also rest on the encasement as it would on a casket. Pall bearers can participate by carrying their loved one from the funeral home to hearse, from hearse to church, and then to the cemetery.
