Common Questions, Clear Answers
Cremation FAQ's
Cremation is a process that uses high heat to reduce the body to bone fragments, which are then processed into cremated remains, which is commonly referred to as "ashes." These remains are placed in a secure container, such as an urn, for final placement or memorialization. Cremation can be followed by a service, burial, scattering, or keepsake memorials, giving families flexibility in how they honor their loved one.
Yes. Cremation does not limit your choices for honoring a life. Families can hold a full traditional funeral, a memorial service after cremation, or a private gathering that reflects their loved one's wishes. Many families appreciate cremation because it allows for a meaningful tribute at a time and place that works best for them.
No. Embalming is not necessary unless you wish to hold a public visitation with an open casket prior to cremation. In those cases, embalming can help preserve appearance, but otherwise, families may choose to proceed without it.
Absolutely, and personalization is encouraged. Cremation services can be customized with music, readings, video tributes, or special memorials like butterfly or dove releases. Families may also choose personalized urns, keepsake jewelry, or scattering ceremonies that reflect their loved one's life and legacy.
In most cases, cremation is more affordable than traditional burial, often costing about 30% less. This makes it a practical choice for families while still allowing for meaningful ceremonies and personalization. Costs vary depending on the type of service, urn, or final placement selected, but cremation offers flexibility to fit both budget and wishes.
There are many options for final placement. Families may choose burial in a cemetery plot, placement in a columbarium niche, scattering in a meaningful location, or keeping them in an urn or keepsake jewelry. Choosing a permanent resting place also creates a lasting memorial for future generations to visit.
