A chapel, faith-community, graveside, or off-site memorial with the urn present or with photographs and keepsakes.
Understanding the service
What this arrangement can include.
Cremation describes the method of final disposition; it does not determine whether a family can gather, view, hold a funeral, or create a permanent memorial. A service may take place before cremation, after cremation with an urn present, or at a later date that allows more people to attend.
We explain the identification and authorization process, coordinate the crematory and required permits, and review options for an urn and final placement. The family receives a clear plan for when and how cremated remains will be returned or transferred for burial, placement, or another authorized disposition.
Exact authorizations, timing, provider requirements, and outside charges are confirmed for each arrangement by the funeral director.
What to expect
A clear process, one step at a time.
