Cremation Services
Cremation is chosen by many families for personal, practical, or family reasons. It can be part of a traditional funeral, a private service, a celebration of life, or a direct cremation.
Cremation With a Service
A funeral service may take place before cremation in a church, funeral home, crematorium, or another suitable setting. The service can include prayers, readings, music, personal memories, and family participation.
Direct Cremation
Some families choose cremation without a public service. A memorial or celebration of life may then be arranged later.
After the Cremation
After cremation, ashes may be kept in an urn, buried, scattered, or placed in a meaningful location, depending on the family’s wishes and any local guidance.
