Common Questions

What Can Be Done With The Cremated Remains?

There are many options. Remains can be buried in a cemetery lot or cremation garden, inurned in a columbarium, kept at home, or scattered on private property. We also offer scattering services. Our staff will be happy to discuss these options with you and make any arrangements.

What do cremated remains that are returned to the family look like?

The quantity of cremated remains of an adult is comparable to the size of a 6 inch square box. The appearance resembles crushed seashells. The remains are placed in a plastic bag inside the urn selected by the family.

Is the deceased person cremated unclothed?

For dignity, we prefer the deceased to be dressed in some type of garment. In addition, we encourage the placement of personal items with deceased.
