Traditional Cremation is when the deceased is embalmed and placed in a casket allowing for a viewing/visitation and funeral. The deceased is taken for cremation following the service instead of to the cemetery for burial. The cremated remains are returned to the family at a later date, or we can arrange for burial/scattering of the cremated remains.

Traditional cremation often allows for two things:

1. The look and feel of a traditional funeral but at a lower cost due to the option of not having to buy a burial plot, outer burial container, etc...
2. Families often find traditional cremation to be a beautiful way of honoring family/religious traditions along with the deceased’s wishes to be cremated.

We offer a selection of cremation caskets and a solid wood rental casket.

• Cremation caskets are typically made of particle board and are covered in a wood look veneer or cloth. The body will remain in the casket and be cremated together.
• The rental casket is a solid wood shell and a new, self-contained, upholstered insert is installed with each use. The body will be cremated in the upholstered insert.
