Cremation with Traditional Funeral Service Package

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 viewing and a funeral service. However, instead of leaving in procession to the cemetery, the funeral service will be followed by cremation. The cremated remains will be returned to your family, and depending on your wishes, they can be buried in the ground, interred in a mausoleum or columbarium, scattered, or used to plant a tree. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself, plus traditional merchandise.

Cremation with a Celebration of Life Memorial Service Package

Unlike the Traditional Cremation service listed above, the body is not present for the Celebration of Life service: the cremation takes place before any services are held. The cremated remains can be present at the Celebration of Life, but it is not necessary. Some people elect to only have photos and personal mementos of the deceased displayed. This option is very versatile, as it works for those families that choose cremation, but also recognize the importance of having time to gather together to reflect on the passing of their loved one prior to the service. This option includes two hours of visitation time, the funeral service, and traditional merchandise.

Cremation with Private Family Viewing

Should a small gathering of those closest to the deceased wish to see the body prior to cremation, a private, family viewing would be appropriate. The body will be embalmed dressed, and prepared for viewing, and the family will have an hour to be with their loved one prior to cremation. Clergy may or may not be present to say closing prayers, depending on the wishes and traditions of the family.
