General Cremation Information

Cremation can be an alternative to the burial process, and it is chosen by many people today. Cremation may also be a less expensive option in comparison to a full body burial. In the United States about 60% of people arranging funerals choose cremation. 

The body, when cremated, is placed in a container that is combustible and placed in a special furnace called a cremation chamber or a crematory where through intense heat is reduced to bone fragments that are then processed to resemble coarse sand.  

Cremated remains can be scattered or buried, or they may be kept with the family in an urn.  There are many different ways to dispose of ashes, please ask about alternatives.

We offer several packages for cremation. Which are 'Immediate Cremation with no Memorial Service', 'Immediate Cremation with a Private Viewing', 'Cremation with a Traditional Funeral Ceremony' and many more options to fit to your family's needs.
