Cremation Services
Why Cremation?
Cremation is becoming the most popular method of disposition in the Midwest for spiritual, financial, and environmental reasons.
Spiritual beliefs connect us to each other in a meaningful way, and they guide and form the base upon which our decisions are made. While many believe human nature is the cornerstone, a majority base their spiritual beliefs on their religious affiliations. Regardless of your stance, "ashes to ashes, and dust to dust" has significant meaning for us all. Many believe this is the basis upon which most organized religions deem cremation as an acceptable method of final disposition.
Let's face it, traditional funeral home and cemetery costs are steep and will only get higher. For many, a traditional funeral is the third most expensive purchase they make in their lifetime, just behind home and auto purchases. With a cost savings of 75 percent or more, it's easy to see why more and more people are choosing simple cremations over traditional funeral services. It's your money. You decide what's best for your family.
Cremation is also more environmentally responsible than traditional methods because it eliminates the burial of large amounts of wood, steel, and embalming chemicals.
Private Family Viewing followed by Cremation
For some families, having a Public Viewing of the deceased body is not necessary or desired. However, there may be some immediate family members who wish to see the deceased one last time, to say goodbye before the cremation. This option will include fees for the services, an upgraded cremation container (required), as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service but it can also be a small intimate gathering of those closest to you.
