CREMATION SERVICES

Families who want the familiarity of a traditional funeral may have a visitation and funeral service with their loved one present, followed by cremation.

This option allows family and friends to gather, see their loved one, share memories, and participate in the traditions that are meaningful to them while still choosing cremation as the final disposition.

A memorial service takes place without the body present and may be held before or after the cremation has occurred.

The urn may be present if the family wishes, and the service can be personalized with photographs, music, video tributes, favorite belongings, readings, or other details that reflect the person's life.

Services may be held in our chapel, at a church, or at another meaningful location.

For families who do not wish to have a visitation or ceremony, we also offer cremation without formal services.

Even when choosing a simpler arrangement, your loved one receives the same respectful care, and our staff will guide you through the necessary authorizations and arrangements.

Veterans who choose cremation may still be eligible for many of the same honors and burial benefits available with traditional burial.

Depending upon eligibility, these may include military funeral honors, presentation of the American flag, a Presidential Memorial Certificate, a government-furnished marker, and burial or placement of cremated remains in a national cemetery.

Our staff can help families understand available veterans benefits and coordinate the appropriate honors.

Cremation offers just as many opportunities for personalization as traditional burial.

A favorite song, photographs, a video tribute, meaningful keepsakes, military honors, hobbies, flowers, scripture, or stories shared by family and friends can all become part of the service.

What matters most is creating a gathering that feels appropriate for the person being remembered and the people who loved them.
