Cremation Services

 

Direct Cremation is a cremation that takes place without a funeral service, viewing, or ceremony. After the cremation is completed, we will deliver your loved ones urn when you are ready. 

 

Visitation and Memorial Services- The biggest misconception about cremation is that there can't be a funeral service or visitation. This is absolutely not the case - when you choose to care for the physical remains through cremation, we encourage you to consider holding a memorial service as well. There are many options open to you when it comes to honoring your loved one's life: you can provide a chance for friends and family to say goodbye through a final viewing before the cremation, and you can also hold a formal service either before or after the cremation occurs. After the cremation itself, there are a variety of choices for your loved one's final disposition:

Inurnment  is choosing to place your loved ones cremated remains in an urn, or multiple urns. This allows you to choose an urn that best represents their personality. You can then bring the urn home with you, or choose to inter the urn in a permanent location. 

 

Interment means that you'll bury or entomb your loved one's cremated remains. This can be in the family plot, a memorial site, a cremation niche or urn garden, or in a variety of other indoor and outdoor locations. Ask our staff for a detailed list of interment possibilities. Call us, or vsit our Final Interment page for more information. 


Graveside Services
are similar to those celebrated alongside a traditional ground burial, in which loved ones are present at the burial of the cremated remains and honor the deceased through memorial prayers or other meaningful tributes.


Scattering
allows you to spread your loved one's cremated remains in a memorial garden, a cemetery, over water, or across any other meaningful site. You can also choose to scatter some of the cremated remains and retain the rest in an urn for internment or another form of disposition.


Placing cremated remains in multiple urns and keepsakes
allows family members who are separated by distance to each feel the comfort of having their loved one's final resting place in a nearby location.

 

Solidification is a process that use a portion of your loved oned cremated remains, and transforms them into a lasting memorial. Examples of solidification options are encased cremains in glass art, creating Parting Stones, or diamonds.
