Traditional Service and Cremation
The funeral service with the body present provides a period of time for the family and friends to gather informally to pay their respects, as well as an established time for a formal funeral ceremony. You may choose to have viewing and a traditional funeral service followed by cremation instead
of burial. We have caskets designed specifically for cremation.

Memorial Service with Cremation
The Memorial Service after cremation, with or without the urn present, provides an opportunity for family and friends to join together in a formal ceremony. This will serve to acknowledge that a life has been lived,
as well as a declaration that a life has ended. We can help you plan
a personalized memorial service that will be a meaningful final event
in our chapel or at your local church.

Cremation Only
If you select cremation as the final disposition of the body without any viewing, visitation or funeral service, our services will include the support of our staff, necessary authorizations, removal and care of the remains.

The cremated remains are usually placed in some type of permanent receptacle, referred to as an urn, before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be interred in a family burial plot or placed in a niche (special area in a mausoleum for cremated remains) or other family grounds. The scattering of remains also may be done at a designated geographical spot on land or in water in accordance with state or local laws. If scattering is done, it is highly advisable that a site also be chosen for a permanent memorial that will provide a place of pilgrimage for those who want to remember and celebrate the life of the loved one.

Urns
We have a complete selection of urns that may be kept in your home
or are appropriate for burial or scattering.
