Cremation Services
Cremation is another option when choosing the final disposition of the body. Cremation is gaining widespread popularity for its many economic and ecological advantages.
​
When choosing cremation, there are three basic services available which could include an unlimited amount of options.
​
The three basic services include a Traditional Service followed by Cremation, Cremation with a Memorial Service, and Direct Cremation.
​
The first service is a traditional service including visitation at the funeral home, a funeral service and a graveside service, after which, the body is cremated.
​
The second service involves cremation of the body followed by a ceremony celebrating the life of the deceased at a later time. This ceremony can be held at the funeral home, a house of worship, or other location deemed appropriate by the family and can include visitation for family and friends. Private ceremonies can also be arranged. If a traditional viewing is not desired, in most cases arrangements can be made for the family to view the deceased before cremation.
​
The third option is direct cremation. When choosing this option, the deceased is cremated without any viewing or ceremony and the remains are returned to the family.
