Cremation

If you are considering cremation, we encourage you to talk with one of our directors. Many people believe that choosing cremation limits their options. However, with cremation you have unlimited number of service and merchandise choices available.

Many people choose to have a visitation and funeral service preceding cremation. Others choose to have a memorial service following the cremation either in the funeral home, church, or other facility and some choose direct cremation. As you can see the options are numerous. Whatever your desire, we stand ready to assist you with your decision.

We offer the following cremation packages:

• Cremation Package I - Traditional Service
• Cremation Package II - Memorial Service
• Cremation Package III - Direct Cremation

Aftercare

Grief and mourning are not topics that are often discussed among family or friends. Yet, everyone at sometime or another will be affected by grief. Grief is an intense emotional suffering caused by loss. Mourning is the expression of grief at someone's death.

We have a bookshelf of grief books that may be loaned to families. Other grief materials are made available to families at the time of loss.
