Cremation
With cremation becoming ever more common, the options for memorialization have also multiplied.
We provide endless ways to remember your loved one and inter their remains for eternity.
The following are few of the many ways we provide to inter your loved one's remains or pre-plan for your own memorialization after cremation:
- Cremation Benches & Monuments
- Cremorials (flush memorials)
- Niches within a columbarium in a private or community mausoleum
- Urns
Although cremation is increasingly common, the need for a lasting place of remembrance remains. Permanent memorialization helps ensure a loved one’s memory is honored and preserved for future generations. While keeping an urn at home may feel comforting, it can sometimes lead to it being misplaced or forgotten over time.
Traditional Funeral Service Followed by Cremation
Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation, or wake, and a funeral service. However, instead of an in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.
Memorial Service
The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants who lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
Direct Cremation
Direct cremation involves the transportation of the deceased from the home, hospital, nursing facility, or coroner's office to our crematory facilities. It also includes the completion of all required paperwork. There are no formal memorial services, and your loved one’s ashes are promptly returned to the family.
Graveside Service
Graveside services following cremation offer a meaningful way to honor your loved one with a final act of remembrance. This intimate gathering at the burial site of the urn provides a quiet moment for family and friends to reflect, share memories, and say goodbye in a peaceful setting. Whether simple or ceremonial, it’s a heartfelt way to bring closure and lay your loved one to rest with dignity.
