Cremation

According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), more than half of Americans today prefer cremation rather than a traditional burial. Many families want a simple and cost-effective funeral service for their departed loved ones. It helps conserve natural resources, which is an excellent option for eco-conscious families looking for a funeral home.

Our clients can choose to have traditional memorial rites before the actual cremation. This allows families to gather and honor their departed loved one. Others choose to have the ashes of the deceased brought home with them, placed in a columbarium or have the ashes scattered in a designated area.

Our cremation service packages include the following:

•   
  Direct Cremation: A simple cremation with no extra services.
•   
  Simple Cremation: Cremation service with a private viewing for the family.
•   
  Cremation with Memorial Service: A memorial service will be held after cremation.
•   
  Funeral Ceremony with Cremation Service: Funeral services and viewing will be conducted prior to the cremation. This allows family members to conduct religious or other services before the cremation proper.

Terramation

Terramation or natural organic reduction is a service best suited for eco-conscious families looking for a funeral home. It’s a relatively new funeral service option where the remains of the deceased are converted into nutrient-rich soil. A laying ceremony will be conducted, and your loved one’s remains will be delivered to your home after two months at the end of this natural process.
