Stevens Funeral Home

OUR SERVICES

Stevens Funeral Home maintains a tradition of personal attention to our families' needs and individual desires. We offer professional direction of services, whether they are held in our funeral home, in a church, at a cemetery, or in a private home or other location.

Many details have to be considered, and decisions made, in arranging a service, whether at the time of need or in advance. We at Stevens Funeral Home want to make it easier for you by providing helpful information.

Local Transportation

According to your needs, we offer limousine service for the family, clergy and pallbearers, as well as a hearse and flower vehicle to the cemetery.

Minister, Priest, Celebrant ...

In accordance with your faith, we will consult with your choice of clergy and provide the necessary information for the service.

Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced in the funeral practice of most religions, as well as those of the various fraternal orders. We will adeptly oversee proper adherence to ceremonies and rituals. Many of our client families choose to honor their deceased through non-religious forms of memorialization, and we can assist with that as well.

Government and Insurance Payments

We assist our client families in filling out and filing forms for Social Security, Veteran's benefits, insurance, pensions, union benefits, Civil Service benefits, etc. Of course, these matters are handled in strictest confidence. We do have an in-house Notary Public for your convenience.

Out-of-Town Arrangements

When a death occurs outside our community, you can rely on Stevens Funeral Home to handle all the details. We have contacts in most every city in the United States and many cities throughout the world. We can arrange services or burial according to your wishes almost anywhere. In this way, we can help you avoid duplication of effort, unnecessary expense, anxiety and needless travel.

We can arrange transportation for the deceased and escorts anywhere through our more than 3,200 world-wide affiliates.

Embalming and Viewing Policy

New Mexico law provides that all bodies not disposed of within twenty-four hours after death must be embalmed or refrigerated. If you do not want embalming, we provide refrigeration immediately in lieu thereof, and we require it after twenty-four hours.

You may have a funeral service with an unembalmed body present; however, public viewing of an unembalmed body is not allowed. Only the immediate family will be allowed to view an unembalmed body, if viewing is possible.

PERSONALIZATION

Funerals are most meaningful when they are personalized. When you are planning a funeral, think about the special qualities of the person who died and what he or she meant to others. How can you capture this unique life? With creative ideas and help from us, the funeral of your loved one will be a celebration filled with lasting memories.
