CREMATION
Personalization and a variety of container (urn) sizes and styles are
available for cremation. As for services, a traditional funeral service with an
open or closed casket can, and often does take place before a cremation. Another
option is to hold a memorial service after cremation with or without the urn
present. A third option is cremation without a funeral or memorial service.
Whether you choose burial and a "touchstone" for the garden, a cemetery
memorial, mausoleum vault with a plaque, or decide on a scattering under a newly
planted tree, you and your family will have the opportunity to memorialize
your loved one and keep him or her close to you for years to come.
