Complete Cremation Service

The Complete Cremation Service will be just like a Complete Funeral Service except cremation will follow instead of the casketed burial. This can be accommodated using a cremation casket, which is a casket that is designed to be cremated. Following the viewing, service, or ceremony, and eventual cremation, the cremated remains can be buried, properly scattered, or returned to the family for safe keeping. Urns are used to hold the cremated remains. Urns can be constructed out of basic materials like cardboard or plastic or constructed out of more protective materials like basic and semi-precious metal, ceramic, and wood.

Direct Cremation Service

The Direct Cremation Service is a disposition option in which the body is cremated “directly” and where no funeral services are held beforehand. In many circumstances, a memorial service or memorial visitation is held at the funeral home, a church or other location. A service or ceremony provides a structured opportunity for family and friends to come together, share memories, and support one another in their grief. It highlights the significance of the individual's life and offers a space for collective mourning, which can be essential for emotional healing. The rituals and traditions observed during these ceremonies help to acknowledge the loss and facilitate the transition to life after the loved one's passing. Without this communal acknowledgment, the grieving process can be more challenging, as the absence of a formal goodbye may leave emotions unresolved. Local laws and funeral home policies will need to be met prior to the cremation taking place.

Importance of Memorialization

Memorialization allows family members and descendants to honor the lives of the deceased.

Cremation allows families to make many choices for memorializing a loved one. Some families choose to keep the cremated remains with them at home, or to scatter the remains over land or water.
