Cremation is the process of reducing the bodily remains to cremated remains through the application of high heat & flame. Families can hold a service before or after the cremation. The cremated remains can be placed in an urn, scattered in a meaningful location, or interred in a cemetery or columbarium.

Why families choose cremation:

• Flexibility in planning: memorial services can be scheduled at any time.
• Lower overall cost compared to traditional burial.
• Variety of memorialization options (urns, keepsake jewelry, scattering).
• Somewhat smaller environmental footprint.
• Allows family to keep loved one’s remains close.
• Ideal for those with no preference for a traditional burial plot.
• Can be combined with a full or simple service for personalization.
• Remains are relatively easy to transport for interment or scattering in a location that is important to the family or their loved one.
