Cremation is often considered to be a less complicated substitute for the “traditional” funeral. Many people also believe that at the time of death only two choices exist: immediate cremation of the body or a complete funeral including viewing, followed by burial.
Actually several options are available in between for those who prefer cremation . . . perhaps even more than with burial. Cremation and burial are both defined as “modes of disposition,” methods of caring for the body and as such, just one part of a funeral. Numerous
opportunities exist for meaningful services for the benefit of family and friends—both before and after cremation occurs. We offer 2 personalized cremation selections as follows:
