Contrary to what most people believe, cremation does not limit one's choices. The choice of cremation does not eliminate a funeral service.

Funeral Service-A funeral service followed by cremation need be no different than a funeral service followed by ground burial. Following the funeral service and cremation, the cremated remains are usually placed in an urn before being committed to a final resting place. The cremation urn may be interred in an existing family burial plot, interred in a special cremation section at a cemetery or placed in an indoor or outdoor cemetery columbarium.

Memorial Service- A memorial service is a gathering of family and friends in the funeral home chapel or family church, usually with an Urn (cremated remains) present. This service may include visitations the day before the service and/or the day of the service.

Direct cremation-direct cremation is another option--many people request to eliminate "all the bother of funeral services" for family members. Funeral services aren't provided for the deceased--they're there to help support and comfort the living. Take time to consider family and friends and their need to work through the grieving process before you make this decision.

Scattering- Scattering cremated remains may be done at a designated place on land or water in accordance with provincial and local laws. Scattering cremated remains on someone's private property requires their permission. It is not recommended to scatter on your personal property (should your home be sold) or on public property where others may come into contact with the cremated remains. For many people, it is important to have a permanent place to go to visit. This allows family and friends the ability to remember and celebrate a life that has been lived and touched others

Graveside Service -This may be a private or public gathering of family and friends.

Merchandise- Just as people are different, so too are the options for funerals. Our staff at Funeral and Cremation Service can access a wide range of casket choices, styles, designs and personalization. The same is true for cremation urns, which can also be selected with engraving and custom or standard images. An urn represents a visible remembrance of a life lived. In many instances it provides a personalized memorial often replacing a monument or a marker. Design, quality and material provide a unique forum for the expression of individuality and creativity as well as addressing such concerns as durability and dimension.
