Cremation services

The biggest misconception about cremation is that there can’t be a funeral service or visitation. This is absolutely not the case.

We encourage you to consider holding a memorial service to celebrate the life of the deceased as well. There are many options open to you when it comes to honoring your loved one’s life. After the cremation and memorial services, there are a variety of choices for your loved one’s final disposition:

Inurnment

You’ll bury or entomb your loved one’s cremated remains. This can be in a 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 inurnment possibilities.

Graveside services

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

Scattering

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

Multiple urns

Placing cremated remains in multiple urns 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.
