Cremation Services
Cremation is becoming increasingly popular, especially amongst the babyboomer generation. Among the many reasons for this growing trend is many options cremation provides for a final memorial service.
Cremation gives people the flexibility to create a tribute that reflects the life being honored. But this doesn’t mean that aspectsof traditional funeral services have to be discarded. Even with cremation, a meaningful memorial that is personalized to reflect thelife of the deceased could include:
- A visitation prior to the service;
- An open or closed casket;
- Special music;
- A ceremony at the funeral chapel, your place of worship or other special location.
- Participation by friends and family.
Commonly,cremated remains are placed in an urn and committed to an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium; interred in a family burial plot; or included in a special urn garden.
Cremation also gives families the option to scatter the remains. This can be done in a designated cemetery garden or at a place that was special to the person. Today, cremated remains can even become part of an ocean reef or made into diamonds.
What ever you choose, cremation or burial, traditional services or contemporary celebrations, we are there to help you.
