Since cremation is the method of choice for a growing number of families, we believe that it should be a meaningful and beautiful form of caring for the body of a loved one. Cremation and the ceremonies thereafter serve to establish the significance of the deceased and the value of the funeral process. We stress that utilizing cremation does not put any limits on what can be done at the funeral service. For example, one can choose a full traditional or contemporary service before cremation with the body present at the service, or have a memorial service after the cremation has taken place. Every family has unlimited choices and is guided through their unique and personalized service arrangements.
