CREMATION SERVICES

Cremation Services

If your family has chosen cremation, we have a range of service selections that can help celebrate the life of your loved one while giving you options for a public gathering, ceremony, and final resting place.  Cremation services offer many choices when it comes to service selections.  Regardless of your wishes, we are here to help facilitate the type of the type of service that is right for your family. 

Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation

Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional funeral service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing and visitation as well as a funeral service. However, instead of going to the cemetery, the funeral ceremony will be followed by cremation. Following the cremation, the cremated remains may then be returned to your family for storage in an urn, buried in a cemetery, scattered, or interred in a columbarium, depending on your wishes. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.

Memorial Service

Following cremation, a memorial service can be held in a church, at our funeral home, or at another venue that your family chooses. You may still elect to have public viewing or visitation with a memorial service, with or without the body present. We work with our families to design a service that honors the life of their loved one with scripture, stories, music, or other personal requests that individualize each service.  Clergy or life celebrants can be chosen to lead services and assist in this process to help start the healing process.

Graveside Service

A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral or memorial service, but it could also be a small intimate gathering of those closest to you held when no other services are selected.

Permanent Memorialization

Keeping an Urn at Home

This is a common choice and families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.

Placing the Urn in a Columbarium (aka, a “niche”)

Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.

Burying the Urn

Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place

Scattering the ashes

Some families find comfort scattering the cremated remains in a place that was special to their loved one.
