Our Cremation Service Options

Our Cremation Service Options

We Are Caring Cremation Experts & Promise Our Highest Level of Commitment

Simple cremation can be of many cremation service options.  
We offer the following basic cremation service options and each can be modified to meet your family's needs:
  • Traditional Cremation Services:  These are traditional funeral services with a visitation and service prior to the cremation taking place. The casket, with your loved one, is present during the visitation and funeral service.  Following the service, whether in our funeral home or at another facility, our staff would proceed with cremation service arrangements.  Our licensed funeral directors and professional staff will be responsible for arranging all of the details and will work with you to ensure you receive our highest level of care.
  • Cremation with Memorial Service/Gathering or Celebration of Life:  This service usually takes place following cremation; however, it can take place prior. This is dependent on the families' wishes of either having or not having their loved one's ashes present for the memorial or gathering.  Most often, the family will have the cremated remains present for the service, others may choose a photo or flowers only.  The service could take place in our funeral home or at a facility elsewhere.  Our licensed funeral director and staff will guide you through the process and can be present for the services.    
  • Private Cremation Only:  Families who do not have plans or who are uncertain of plans for a service, memorial or gathering for their loved one, may choose to have their loved one's cremated only.  Once the cremation has been organized, your funeral director will continue to assist you in making plans to deliver your loved one's cremated remains (ashes) to your home or assist in the planning of a dedication service to place the cremated remains in a final resting spot.  Our licensed funeral directors will direct the family through this process. If, and when, the family would like to further arrange for a service of any kind, we will be here to assist.
