If you have questions about cremation, we created The Everything Cremation Guide just for you. This free guide reveals there is much more than choosing between ground burial or cremation. You’ll learn that cremation offers surprising flexibility, including creative, affordable, and very personal ways to customize it.
The decision to be cremated is just the first step in your end-of-life planning. Did you know you can have a traditional funeral, followed by cremation? Or that you can have a cremation, followed by a memorial service?
Even if you select permanent placement in the cemetery or in a mausoleum niche, you can also keep a portion to design jewelry or keepsakes for yourself and for your family. Did you know that keepsakes can be created whether a cremation has just occurred, or you have existing ashes that you aren’t sure what to do with?
Request your free Everything Cremation Guide using the form below. The Guide was created to give you a better understanding of the choices you have when you choose cremation.
For instance, you can be embalmed for a traditional service and then cremated—and then the ashes can be buried. Or, you might choose a cremation bench, mausoleum niche, water burial, or take-home selections like jewelry and other keepsakes.
That’s what this Guide is all about—informing families of the hundreds of choices available, many of which are not available anywhere else in our area. Request your free guide today.
