Cremation Services
Cremation Service Options
A cremation service is an alternative to a traditional service. A cremation service can be personalized to suit the wishes of the family and can include many of the same elements as a traditional funeral, such as a viewing, flowers, music, and readings. After cremation, the ashes can be placed in an urn or other container and kept by the family, scattered in a special location, or interred in a cemetery. There are many options available for commemorating the life of a loved one through cremation, including personalized celebrations of life, traditional funerals, and cremation memorial services.
At our funeral home, we understand that every life is precious and unique. That is why we don't offer one-size-fits-all packages, but rather customize each service to honor your loved one's individuality and wishes. Our goal is to serve you with honesty and integrity. We will give you a clear and reasonable estimate for the service you choose, and we will not proceed without your consent. Our funeral directors are here to support you and comfort you in this time of grief.
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 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 that lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
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.
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
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 Cremated Remains
Some families find comfort scattering the cremated remains in a place that was special to their loved one.
