Cremation options

Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you’re interested in cremation, we can explain the process and the different memorialization choices, from urns to remembrance jewelry.

For families who choose the time-honored tradition, our full-service funeral home uses a crematory dedicated to our family of funeral providers. This allows us to have control of a cremation from start to finish.

Your loved one’s urn can be picked up at the funeral home, or someone from our team can deliver it to your home or send it to you by U.S. mail. See MoreSee Less
