*In our Simple Cremation and Memorial Service options there is no embalming and only a very limited time that the deceased may be transferred out of refrigeration and identified. So that the deceased remains in an essentially refrigerated state, we respectfully request that the identification be for no more than 30 minutes from the time we agree to begin.
In the interest of full disclosure while minimizing movement of the deceased, the identification occurs in the required container that will shelter the deceased prior to cremation and will be later consumed in the cremation process. In the case of Autopsied remains, embalming is necessary (additional fee).
Cremains: To Scatter, Store, Display, or Bury?
When most people think of cremation, they think of an urn holding ashes. The ashes that are a result of cremation are called cremains.
Many people do choose to keep their loved one with them by displaying an urn housing the cremains in their home or wearing a piece of commemorative jewelry with part of the cremains inside. But, those are not the only options.
Some people wish to have a traditional funeral with visitation prior to the cremation or have a conventional graveside service with burial afterwards. These are all possible with our cremation options.
