There are many types of cremation funerals available.  Here are some of the various options available.  

• Traditional Cremation Funeral Service: The main misunderstanding about cremation is that people believe it does not allow you to have a funeral. This conception could not be further from the truth.  As a general rule, most people who choose cremation prefer to have some type of formal or informal memorial service with cremation to follow. This type of service is still much more affordable than the traditional burial.  The funeral service is usually conducted at a church or funeral home but can be held at any appropriate location.  The funeral may include clergy or it simply can involve family and friends who are able to lend support and reminisce about cherished memories.  To personalize the ceremony a favorite musical selection can be played and the facility can be decorated with portraits and photographs.  A viewing can be held to allow family and friends to say good-bye.  It is common for all who attend or just immediate family members to follow in a funeral procession to the crematory.  If you decide to plan a visitation you may rent or purchase a cremation casket. If you choose to use a rental casket then an alternative container will be used during the cremation process.

• Cremation Funeral Service:  This funeral service is a memorial gathering where family and friends will meet in remembrance of the decedent with or without the cremated remains present.  If the family decides to have the cremated remains present then a decorative urn may be displayed at the location.  This type of service can be simple or elaborate. 

• Direct Cremation: This type of service is for family who prefer not to have any type of memorial gathering or service.  When your loved one passes away contact funeral personnel for the removal of the decedent, then request a direct cremation to follow.  You will be advised of all necessary administrative and legal requirements needed by your state in order to proceed with cremation. State laws typically require some type of waiting period before the cremation process can begin.  Although direct cremation is an option, many people later regret this decision because it denies closure for family and friends who are left behind.  You can still plan an affordable cremation funeral for your loved one by having a small gathering and inviting supportive friends and family to celebrate the life that has been lived.  This helps allow family and friends to begin the healing process.

The funeral director will be pleased to guide you in arranging any of these types of cremation funerals.  It is important to express all of your wishes to our professional staff.   They are a valuable resource when arranging these important details and they can offer suggestions to personalize the ceremony that may be otherwise overlooked. After cremation takes place you may decide to put the cremated remains inside of a decorative urn which is suitable for burial or to be kept at a residence; they can be placed in a scattering urn which is especially designed to hold the cremains until scattering takes place and then the urn can be kept as a memento afterwards; or one may decide to have one or several small portions of the cremated remains placed inside of keepsake urns or jewelry to keep as a permanent memorial of the decedent and the remaining portion can be scattered or interred at a favorite place.  Scattering is regulated by state law and your funeral director will coordinate and advise you of any local ordinances prohibiting scattering.  This will allow you and your family to have a permanent place to visit your loved one.   The low cost of cremation could enable you to concentrate on purchasing an everlasting permanent memorial such as a cemetery marker, monument or memorial bench in remembrance of the one they love.
