Cremation urns can be made from a wide range of materials, but did you know that the most commonly purchased one is made of marble? Ultimately, it is up to the family to decide, but feel free to seek the advice of your local directer of cremation services.

There are many ways to say goodbye and honor a loved one. A funeral may be as unique as the individual being honored and can include symbols of that person’s life—through photographs, for instance—and likes, hobbies, heritage, and spirituality. Your funeral director can help express your loved one’s life in a meaningful and dignified manner.

07/21/2016

Did you know that funeral homes are excellent locations for memorial services as well as traditional funeral ceremonies? These services can follow any format as laid out by the deceased or his or her loved ones and don't usually include a casket or burial.

07/19/2016

Although special mementos may be placed with the deceased for cremation, they will not withstand the cremation process. Small objects, such as jewelry, can be added to the urn after the cremation process, though.

07/14/2016

Losing a loved one is tough enough without having to worry about all of the stress that comes with coordinating an event like a funeral. This is why a funeral director and the staff of a funeral home will work hard to make sure the experience is as painless as possible.

07/12/2016

Funeral directors are respectful of a wide range of beliefs, religions, and personal preferences. No matter what your loved one's wishes are for a funeral ceremony, you can rest assured that the funeral home you choose will respect and honor him or her.

Cremation is simply a method of disposition. It doesn't preclude burial or other conventional or unconventional memorial practices a family may feel appropriate to the occasion. This may include services, ceremonies, wakes or other tributes.

07/05/2016

Cremation offers families broad options for personalization of their loved one’s services in ways that cannot be accomplished with traditional burial. In fact, every cremation service is individualized concerning disposition of the ashes from one urn, to a number of urns for family members, to burial of the urn, or scattering ashes in a meaningful location.

Visitation and viewing are a big part of many funeral services. These work better with a grand, ornate casket, but that doesn’t mean you have to use that casket for cremation. Many funeral homes will allow you to rent a casket for the funeral services, then use another container for cremation.

06/28/2016

When you’re mourning, the last thing you probably want to worry about is ensuring that all of the legal documents (such as a death certificate) are in order. You don’t have to. A funeral home professional will take care of all of the legal details for you.

06/23/2016

These days, there is very little agreement as to what constitutes a traditional burial. Customs have changed and relaxed, and people are welcome to incorporate elements they believe reflect the best attributes of the person who has passed.

06/21/2016

If your family is scattered throughout the country – or even the world – it can be difficult to find a burial location that makes sense for everyone. In some cases, it may be possible to ship ashes to separate locations for everyone to bury or scatter locally.

06/16/2016

One of the biggest benefits of cremation when compared to burial is the cost. You avoid heavy costs like having to pay for a gravestone, a plot of land, and an ornate casket. You can either save that money, or use it for a different memorial, such as a memorial bench at a favorite park.

06/14/2016

If you choose a cemetery burial, how do you know that cemetery will remain a viable location for your children or for other generations in your family? With cremation, there is no need to visit a cemetery or to worry about whether the cemetery remains in business.

06/09/2016

Cremation has become a much more popular choice in the United States in the past two decades, according to figures from the Cremation Association of North America. About 4 percent of people who died in 1960 were cremated, increasing to 5 percent in 1970 and 17 percent by 1990. Between 2000 and 2012, the rate increased from 26 percent to 43 percent of all deaths.

06/07/2016

Did you know that the most commonly purchased cremation urn is made of marble? Cremation was introduced in North America in 1876; the first crematory was built in Washington, Pennsylvania. By 1920, the United States had 20 operating crematories, this increased to nearly 1,900 by 2003.

When a loved one dies, it’s an incredible emotional strain on the survivors, but it doesn’t have to be a financial strain as well. Pre-planning your funeral can help make sure everything is planned and paid for ahead of time.

05/31/2016

If your loved one did not express his or her wishes with regards to a burial service, then this can create some confusion for the family. Feel free to discuss the options with your local cremation services director for supportive advice.

05/26/2016

Cremation is becoming increasingly more popular across America and numbers continue to rise every year. Families are finding this affordable practice to be humane, dignified, and supportive of their needs, on both an emotional and practical level.

05/24/2016

One of the reasons for investing in a preneed funeral plan is that it relieves you or your loved ones of a tremendous burden in the event of a death. It is very difficult to maintain a clear head when someone passes; pre-arrangement means everything is already in place.

05/19/2016

If you have family members spread out across the country, a cremation followed by a memorial service for your deceased loved one may allow for more people to be present. A memorial service can be planned for when the majority of people can attend.

05/17/2016

Why choose cremation? Cremation services allow you and your family to focus on your grief and your loss now. Later, when the time is right for you and your family, you can choose to scatter the ashes or have them interred in a family plot.

05/12/2016

Cremated remains are environmentally benign and entirely safe. Transporting and scattering remains may still be subject to special regulations, though. In some instances, like when scattering remains in state parks or over bodies of water, permits or other permissions may be required.

05/10/2016

When you lose a loved one, it’s easy to feel alone while you arrange the funeral, especially if he or she was your spouse. A funeral home professional is here for you, so you don’t have to be alone during this very trying time.

05/05/2016

Deciding whether to opt for burial or cremation can be a highly personal decision for the immediate family of the deceased when they didn’t make their wishes known. While cremation is often less expensive, some religious still require traditional burial.

05/03/2016

Did you know? A fascinating funerary urn dating from the early Italian Iron Age (900-800 BC) is a finely crafted pottery model of a typical villager’s hut. Oval in shape, the urn includes subtle details like wattle-and-daub walls, wood support posts and a peaked, thatched roof.

04/28/2016

We recognize how important it can be to some families to have the body of the deceased available for the viewing before or after the funeral service. If this is important to your family, we can schedule the cremation for after the viewing.

04/21/2016

Cremations are always conducted individually, one at a time. There are also clear identification guidelines in place. There is little to no likelihood of receiving the wrong cremains by mistake.

04/19/2016

Cremation provides families and loved ones with a dignified and financially manageable way in which to honor a loved one. Cremation also provides a number of benefits, such as being able to schedule a memorial for when all loved ones are able to attend.
