Simple Funerals Inc. invites the community to a free Snack & Chat from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on February 11, 2026, at The Mill 72 Bake Shop & CafĂ©, in Manheim. Light refreshments will be served during this informative gathering exploring affordable, dignified alternatives to traditional funeral services.

Simple Funerals offers meaningful, lower-cost options—including private family viewings, all-wood or 100 percent biodegradable caskets, green burials and graveside ceremonies—designed to honor loved ones while keeping expenses manageable.

Founder and Funeral Director William P. Spence notes that local cemeteries supporting green burials include Kraybill Mennonite Cemetery, in Mount Joy, and Akron Mennonite Cemetery, which is limited to residents and affiliated church members. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience, Simple Funerals provides alternatives to embalming or public viewings while offering environmentally conscious options and compassionate guidance.

Location: 45 N. Main St., Manheim. RSVP by Feb. 9 by calling 717- 664-1500. For more information, email [email protected] or visit SimpleFuneralsPA.com
