Our Options for Cremation

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

Traditional Cremation Services

This includes benefits of both a traditional funeral service and cremation. After the funeral, the deceased is cremated as opposed to burial. Once the cremation has occurred the cremated remains are returned to the family.

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.

Complete our online pre-arrangement form to get a head start on the process. It is alright if you do not have all the answers right now, but filling out what you do know can help expedite the process.

Cremation Alternatives

The latest innovation in cremation alternatives is a process of alkaline hydrolysis, sometimes called resomation. The process was developed in the United States in the late 1990s. The Cremation Association of North America describes the process as "a water-based dissolution process for human remains that uses alkaline chemicals, heat, and sometimes agitation and-or pressure, to accelerate natural decomposition".

Compared with traditional cremation, this process uses less energy and releases no carbon and no matter into the atmosphere. Not all regions have made the legislative changes required for funeral homes to offer this service to families and the equipment costs are more than a conventional retort. Both factors currently reduce the availability of resomation cremation services.
