Cremation Services
Cremation Service Options
We offer a variety of cremation service options to reflect your family’s wishes and personal preferences. Below are several ways these services can be arranged.
A Full-Service Cremation includes complete preparation and care of your loved one for public visitation in a cremation-appropriate casket (such as wood, composite, or a rental casket). It may include a public gathering before a funeral home or church service, followed by a procession and final committal at the cemetery. This option offers all the elements of a traditional funeral service, with cremation as the chosen form of disposition.
Other service combinations include:
- Cremation with Public Visitation — with or without the body or urn present, followed by a service at the funeral home or church and a committal ceremony at the graveside.
- Cremation with Private Visitation — with or without the body or urn present, followed by a funeral home or church service and graveside committal.
- Cremation with Private Visitation and Same-Day Service — a private viewing followed by a same-day service at the funeral home.
- Cremation with Memorial Service — cremation occurs first, followed by a memorial service at the funeral home or a place of worship, with or without the cremated remains present.
- Direct Cremation — a simple, dignified option without formal ceremonies.
We can help you create the combination of services that best fits your family’s needs, traditions, and preferences.

Traditional Funeral Service Followed by Cremation
Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.
Memorial Service
The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants that lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
Graveside Service
Graveside services following cremation offer a meaningful way to honor your loved one with a final act of remembrance. This intimate gathering at the burial site of the urn provides a quiet moment for family and friends to reflect, share memories, and say goodbye in a peaceful setting. Whether simple or ceremonial, it’s a heartfelt way to bring closure and lay your loved one to rest with dignity.
Permanent Memorialization
Keeping an Urn at Home
This is a common choice and families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.
Placing the Urn in a Columbarium
Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.
Burying the Urn
Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place.
Scattering the Cremated Remains
Some families find comfort scattering the cremated remains in a place that was special to their loved one.
