CREMATION POSSIBILITIES
CREMATION SERVICES
Cremation only refers to the manner in which you or your loved one has chosen to deal with the physical remains. This decision doesn’t limit the ways you can honor your loved one's life.
Cremation allows a family the flexibility they may need in planning and preparing for a service or memorial ceremony. While the cremation process can occur almost immediately (once all the proper paperwork is complete), the decisions required in planning a meaningful memorial for a loved one can be made in a relaxed, rational way.
We offer three cremation options; each can be modified to meet your needs:
1. Traditional cremation services. These are much like a traditional funeral. The body of the deceased, placed in a specially-selected casket, is the focal point of the service. A visitation can take place prior to the funeral service and the cycle is completed with the cremation rather than a traditional burial. Once the cremation has occurred, the cremated remains are returned to your family. You can then decide to scatter, bury, or retain the cremated remains in an urn.
2. Memorial gathering after the cremation has taken place. This can occur at any time after the cremation process. The urn is usually on display at the service, which can take place in any setting preferred by the family.
3. Direct cremation. This involves transportation of the deceased from the hospital, home, nursing facility, or coroner's office to our mortuary holding facility. We will take care of all required paperwork and file it with the necessary government agencies. After the disposition permit is received from the county, the deceased can then be transported to the crematory. When the cremains are ready to be picked up, we will pick them up and arrange delivery to the family.
We've had years of experience serving many families, so we understand and respect your decisions. Not only that, we allow you all the time you may need to make an informed decision. Call us today at 916/925-3549.
Our dedicated staff will take care of all details, including prompt filing of required permits and notifications. Accurate completion of these essential documents not only ensures their acceptance by local or state agencies; it guarantees your loved one's cremation will not be delayed.
- Respectful care of the deceased and timely completion of cremation process. Your loved one will be attended to by certified crematory operators; each of whom has been trained to provide both compassionate care for the deceased, and conscientious attention to detail throughout the cremation process.
- Safekeeping and prompt return of cremated remains. We know it's important for the families we serve to know their loved one will be coming home as soon as possible. That's why we promise to notify you as soon as their ashes become available, and safeguard their urn until the time you are ready to receive them.
- A memorial service to celebrate the life of the deceased. There are many advantages to taking some time to remember the life lived, share stories and laugh about all of the memories. We can help you plan a fitting memorial service with or without the cremation urn present, in a place of your choosing.
