That's why we are committed to providing compassionate, professional and personal service to families from all walks of life with a 100% Service Guarantee.

Let's celebrate life

Basic reception venue at Auman's Inc. Funeral HomeHow will you honor your loved one’s legacy? At Auman's Inc. in Reading, we are experts at creating unique and memorable tributes that celebrate a person’s passions and personality.

For instance, if he was a skilled equestrian, we could have a procession with horses and give guests personalized horseshoes as keepsakes. Did she spend her winters on the slopes? We could transform our chapel into a winter wonderland and serve après-ski treats like hot chocolate, spiced apple cider and cheese fondue.

We can find inspiration almost anywhere. Just leave the details—no matter how big or small—to our imaginative team.

We offer many planning ideas and resources.

Reading cremation services

Signature Dedication at Auman's Inc. Funeral HomeThere are many options for cremation in Reading—and they're not all equal. We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our all-inclusive pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

  • a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
  • a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
  • a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

 

For those who wish for something more momentous, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.
