WHY CHOOSE CREMATION?

In the United States, more than half of Americans are now choosing cremation as opposed to a traditional burial as it can offer several benefits while remaining and respectful and personal way to say goodbye.

Affordability

Cremation costs can be significantly less expensive than a traditional burial, making way for the bigger purchases, such as the casket or headstone.

Cemetery Availability

Available space is becoming increasingly limited across cemeteries, which can make finding a plot more challenging and increase costs.

Environmental Considerations

Cremation causes less disturbance to the earth. You can also avoid the strong embalming chemicals for a wake, which often accompanies a traditional burial.

Freedom and Flexibility

Cremation holds diverse options, including scattering your loved one’s ashes, keeping them within an urn, or even integrating them into a piece of jewelry.

Religious Leniency

Christianity, namely Catholicism, is becoming more open-minded toward the practice of cremation which is prompting more people to consider it.

What does cremation entail?

Cremation services are handled with great care and sensitivity. The act of cremation itself is technical and detailed. The process involves the deceased’s body being turned into ash via a specialized furnace called a crematory or crematorium.

It is a meaningful alternative to burial that gives you the opportunity to celebrate the life of your loved one through creative, personalized options. We are here every step of the way to honor the wishes of your loved one.

How to arrange for a cremation service

Whether selecting basic cremation services to more elaborate options, there are no limits to creating a personalized remembrance of your loved one. This is an important time to honor and remember their life, share memories, say goodbye, and provide closure.

There are an array of memorial opportunities that accompany cremation, including:

● Intimate visitations

Cremation Keepsakes & Jewelry

cremation options

We are caring cremation experts who promise each family we serve the highest level of:

Courteous, professional service. Our dedicated staff will take care of all details, including prompt filing of required permits and notifications. Accurate completion of these essential documents not only ensures their acceptance by local or state agencies; it guarantees your loved one's cremation will not be delayed.
Respectful care of the deceased and timely completion of cremation process. Your loved one will be attended to by certified crematory operators; each of whom has been trained to provide both compassionate care for the deceased, and conscientious attention to detail throughout the cremation process.
Safekeeping and prompt return of cremated remains. We know it's important for the families we serve to know their loved one will be coming home as soon as possible. That's why we promise to notify you as soon as their ashes become available, and safeguard their urn until the time you are ready to receive them.
A memorial service to celebrate the life of the deceased. There are many advantages to taking some time to remember the life lived, share stories and laugh about all of the memories. Our team can help you plan a fitting memorial service with or without the cremation urn present, at our facility or in a place of your choosing.

We offer three cremation options; each can be modified to meet your needs:

Traditional cremation services. These are much like a traditional funeral. The body of the deceased, placed in a specially-selected cremation casket or a rental casket, is the focal point of the service. A visitation can take place prior to the funeral service and the cycle is completed with the cremation rather than a traditional burial. Once the cremation has occurred, the cremated remains are returned to your family. You can then decide to scatter, bury, or retain the cremated remains in an urn.
Memorial gathering after the cremation has taken place. This can occur at any time after the cremation process. The urn is usually on display at the service, which can take place in any setting preferred by the family.
Direct cremation. This involves completion of all required paperwork and the transportation of the deceased from the hospital, home, nursing facility, or coroner's office to the crematory.
