Cremation Services

We provide families who select cremation with the same variety of choices that are part of the traditional interment: memorial services, gatherings, visitation and whatever best fits your family’s needs.

For the convenience of the families that we serve who desire cremation our funeral home has designed some cremation options. They are designed to assist you and your family when planning final disposition by cremation.

The local crematory requires the use of an alternative container for handling and placement of a deceased person at the crematory. We offer a choice as to the type of cremation container you would like to be used. These range from a simple container to those that more closely resemble a very simple casket. When the cremation process is complete, you may choose to keep the cremated remains in a beautiful urn and our funeral home has a fine selection to choose from. Within the categories listed below, there are a number of choices available to meet your family’s needs.

Options:

1. Traditional Funeral Service with the cremation following the service.

2. Funeral Home/Church service with or without the cremains present at the service.

3. Direct Cremation.

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

A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service but it can also be a small intimate gathering of those closest to you.
