Burial Services

We provide professional and compassionate burial services in Colusa, CA with reputable and licensed funeral directors.

Burying a loved one is always an emotional experience. The nature of the service itself can be modified in accordance with the deceased’s wishes, or with the general preferences of the family. 

We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to our burial services, but rather we create the kind of mood that families request—while ensuring that, regardless of the particulars, each burial service is intimate, affirming, and beautiful.

• Graveside funeral services, which can include involvement from a religious leader, masonic rites, military ritual, or readings from family members.
  
• Committal services, in which loved ones gather to commit a loved one to the Earth—a symbolic gesture of healing.
  
• Immediate burials, for families who have a sudden and unexpected need to bury a loved one.

For unexpected deaths please call 911.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces.

Since 1887, when James Deter McNary was elected Colusa County Coroner, the goal of McNary-Moore Funeral Service has been to provide the community with service, caring and understanding in our most troubling and sorrowful times.

John Deter McNary subsequently joined his father James in the operation of the mortuary, which was known as J.D. McNary & Son at the time. In 1925, Howard Moore came to Colusa as an accountant and met John D. McNary. Upon the death of James McNary in 1931, he began to work part-time with John D. McNary in the funeral business.
