There are several options available for cremation. Certain services requirements may be required by law or by the type of services selected. The more services selected the more the charges increase.

1. Direct Cremation

This option includes removal of the remains, placing the body in a cremation container, transportation to the crematory and preparation of the forms. Price does not include any rites or services.

2. Memorial Service

This option includes all of the above and also includes a memorial service at a funeral home or a church. The cremains may or may not be present.

3. Funeral Service Followed By Cremation

With this option a casket can be purchased or rented for the funeral service visitation and or a funeral service can be held at the funeral home or a church with the body present. After the service if you purchase a casket, we will transport casketed remains to the crematory. A rental casket internment has a removable container suitable for cremation. The remains then would be transported to the crematory. This requires embalming.

The cremains come back from the crematory in a plastic box suitable for gravesite burial or inurnment. The cremains can also be placed in an urn for burial or to keep. Urns can be purchased at the funeral home.
