People choose cremation over burial for many different reasons. For some, it’s about simplicity because cremation doesn’t require a casket, plot, or headstone. Others appreciate the flexibility it offers, allowing families to hold a memorial service whenever and wherever they choose. Cremation can also be a more affordable and environmentally friendly option.

At Rivercrest Cremation, we help families make these choices with care, understanding, and respect.

Before a cremation can take place, a few important documents and permits are required. These usually include a signed death certificate, a cremation authorization form (signed by the next of kin or legal representative), and a county-issued cremation permit.

At Rivercrest Cremation, we take care of all the details for you. Our team prepares and submits the paperwork, keeps you informed, and makes the process as simple and stress-free as possible.

If you have questions about what’s needed, we’re here to walk you through each step.

After cremation, the ashes are carefully placed in a temporary container or an urn chosen by the family. What happens next is entirely up to you. Many families choose to keep the urn at home, place it in a columbarium, or scatter the ashes in a meaningful place. Some even divide a small portion among family members or create keepsakes like jewelry or small memorials.

At Rivercrest Cremation, we help families understand all their options and can guide you through each step with care and respect.

Cremation is usually less expensive than a traditional burial. With direct cremation, there is no need for a casket, burial plot, or embalming, which are some of the biggest costs in a funeral.

At Rivercrest Cremation, our goal is to make the process clear, respectful, and affordable without hidden fees or pressure. You can still choose to hold a memorial or celebration of life afterward, giving you flexibility to honor your loved one in your own way.

We believe dignity and care should never depend on cost.

Cremation usually takes place within a few days after death. Before it can happen, certain legal steps must be completed, such as getting the death certificate and the necessary permits.

At Rivercrest Cremation, we work closely with families to take care of all the details. The timing can vary depending on how quickly paperwork is completed or if the family wants extra time for a viewing or memorial service.

Sometimes families want to include small, meaningful items with their loved one during cremation. Things like letters, photos, or a favorite flower can often be placed in the cremation container. However, not everything is safe for the cremation process. Items made of metal, glass, or anything with batteries cannot go into the crematory.

At Rivercrest Cremation, we’ll gently guide you through what’s allowed and what’s best kept as a keepsake. Our goal is to help you honor your loved one in a simple, personal, and meaningful way.

If you have questions about what can be included, we’re always here to help you make those choices with care.

If a loved one passes away in a hospital or care facility, they are usually dressed in a gown or the clothes provided by the family. You can choose to have your loved one cremated in something special, like their favorite outfit or a simple set of clothes that feels right. If no clothing is chosen, a modest covering or shroud is always provided.

At Rivercrest Cremation, we handle every step with care and respect, honoring your loved one’s dignity throughout the process.

If you’d like to learn more about how direct cremation works, we’re here to help and answer your questions anytime.

Many families ask if they need to buy a coffin or casket for cremation. The simple answer is no. At Rivercrest Cremation, we use a simple, sturdy cremation container that meets all requirements and provides the same respectful care. Choosing direct cremation helps keep things simple and affordable, while still allowing families to plan a memorial or celebration of life in their own way and time.

If you prefer, you can choose to provide your own container or rent a ceremonial casket for a viewing or service before cremation. We’re here to explain your options clearly, without pressure or confusion.
