In the United States, more than half of Americans are now choosing cremation as opposed to a traditional burial as it can offer several benefits while remaining and respectful and personal way to say goodbye.

Affordability

Cremation costs can be significantly less expensive than a traditional burial, making way for the bigger purchases, such as the casket or headstone.

Cemetery Availability

Available space is becoming increasingly limited across cemeteries, which can make finding a plot more challenging and increase costs.

Environmental Considerations

Cremation causes less disturbance to the earth. You can also avoid the strong embalming chemicals for a wake, which often accompanies a traditional burial.

Freedom and flexibility

Cremation holds diverse options, including scattering your loved one’s ashes, keeping them within an urn, or even integrating them into a piece of jewelry.

Religious Leniency

Christianity, namely Catholicism, is becoming more open-minded toward the practice of cremation which is prompting more people to consider it.

Whether selecting basic cremation services to more elaborate options, there are no limits to creating a personalized remembrance of your loved one. This is an important time to honor and remember their life, share memories, say goodbye, and provide closure.

There are an array of memorial opportunities that accompany cremation, including:

● Traditional cremation with funeral & viewing/visitations

● Public or private funerals

● Cremation process followed by memorial service or gathering

● A witness cremation at the crematory or crematorium

● A graveside service at a private or veterans national cemetery

● And much more

Meaningful clothing

Is there an article of clothing – perhaps a dress or military uniform – that held particular meaning for your loved one? We’ll discuss this with you during the cremation arrangement conversation. Our funeral director will provide counsel regarding the inclusion of jewelry and other valuable personal items.

Keepsakes

Are there any keepsakes that merit inclusion within the cremation casket, or is there a cherished photograph, letter or memento you would like to include? A special touch can involve family members writing cards or letters to their loved one which can be placed inside the casket prior to cremation.

Involvement

We respect the grieving process and understand there are different ways of marking someone’s passing. We welcome interested family or friends to be present or participate in some way during cremation. Our funeral director is available to answer any questions surrounding these possibilities.
