Types of Cremation & Cremation Packages

Cremation has rapidly grown in popularity over the last decade. Therefore, to keep up with this demand we have perfected our cremation process and have made our cremation services a staple part of our funeral home. There are four different types of cremation options: direct cremation, cremation with a memorial service, cremation with a traditional funeral, and an ash scattering service. Cremation services mainly differ in terms of the type of ceremony you would like with the actual cremation; whether it be a formal gathering or something less-traditional, there is always something that you can do to make it personal and unique to the loved one being honored. Below we dig a little deeper into all four of these options: New Paragraph

Direct 
Cremation

This is our simplest cremation service available. It does not involve any type of ceremony. Essentially the fee covers the completion of the necessary paperwork, removal of the deceased from the place of death, and the actual cremation of the deceased.

Cremation with a Memorial Service

This cremation service includes all the aspects of a direct cremation package plus your choice of a memorial service or celebration of life. Having a memorial service or celebration of life scheduled after the cremation, gives families more time to think about the ceremony, it can be more personalized, and it allows for more flexibility. Often families have the memorial service or celebration of life weeks or even months after the death. 

Cremation with a Traditional Funeral

This is much like our traditional funeral service we offer with burial. It includes a viewing/visitation with an open or closed casket followed by a traditional funeral ceremony usually in a church. A specially-selected cremation casket is used during the visitation. After the funeral, the deceased is then cremated as opposed to being buried.

Ash Scattering Service

We can help you organize a ceremony where your loved one's ashes are scattered in a location of your choice. A key point for this cremation service is finding a location that was of significance to your loved one.

Alternative Cremation Options

The latest innovation in cremation is a process of alkaline hydrolysis, sometimes called resomation. The process was developed in the United States in the late 1990s. The Cremation Association of North America describes the process as "a water-based dissolution process for human remains that uses alkaline chemicals, heat, and sometimes agitation and-or pressure, to accelerate natural decomposition". 

Compared with direct cremation services, this process uses less energy and releases no carbon and no matter into the atmosphere. Not all regions have made the legislative changes required for funeral homes to offer this service to families and the equipment costs are more than a conventional retort. Both factors currently reduce the availability of resomation cremation services.
