Cremation is becoming a progressively popular choice for families seeking affordability and flexibility in time, schedules, and options. You can take your time and decide on the best way to say goodbye without feeling rushed by time or financial constraints. Because there is not a need for many of the same products and ancillary items that come with a traditional burial, cremation services are generally less expensive. Many families take comfort in knowing they can have services further into the future, allowing more time for planning and coordination of schedules and travel. Plus, there are numerous options for cremated remains—they can be placed in an urn to be kept within the home, in a columbarium niche, or traditional cemetery plot; scattered in a cherished location; preserved inside memorial jewelry; and many more creative alternatives.
A common misconception surrounding cremation is that you cannot have a traditional service if you choose cremation. Cremation merely describes the final disposition of one’s physical body and should not dictate the type of service you can have. Many families choose to have their loved one present for a traditional funeral prior to the cremation. Another common choice is to have a loved one cremated and then hold a memorial service afterward with the urn present. The options really are endless.
As part of our commitment to transparent pricing, we have designed six cremation service packages that simplify the selection process. Those are outlined

No matter the services you select, we firmly believe that every family deserves to be treated with the utmost care and respect during this challenging time. With profound reverence, we handle your loved one's remains with the highest levels of dignity and professionalism.
