[BOOMTOWN] COLE & FAMILY MEMORIAL PARLOR

[deaths_head]

COLE & FAMILY MEMORIAL PARLOR

A traditional funeral home, with an undertaker in-residence, Cole & Family is operated out of 43 Eli Terrace, and features a full service mortuary that can care for the dead from embalming to internment or cremation, with the capability to handle various special needs for the bereaved such as caskets for natural burial or unusually sized or shaped bodies in need of care.

Because of the limited necessity for traditional undertaking services in New Dodge, however, Cole & Family also offers memorial services for those who fall victim to the phenomenon known as 'fluxing.' In addition to traditional viewing rooms for the deceased, the mortuary features larger rooms intended for memorial gatherings for the departed--those who have fluxed out or left unexpectedly by other means. Here, patrons can celebrate mourning and grieving rituals of any sort, with coordination assistance from the funeral home.

For larger gatherings such as receptions, there is an available ballroom on the premises. This space is most commonly available, however, for the specialized "Flux Wake" offered at Cole & family--in the spirit of the Irish wake, the Flux Wake is a vigil held for those who leave New Dodge against their will in hopes of their return. As it is a vigil, there is also a guest bedroom with en suite bathroom available with full amenities for those who need to rest or bathe, as the common Flux Wake is held for twenty four hours.
