In the depth of early grief, you might think that it would be easier to just take care of things as quickly and simply as possible. We are here to support your decisions, but also help set the stage for the future by giving your family and friends the opportunity to start the healing process.
As with burial services, we wholeheartedly recommend having a funeral service or memorial service when cremation has been chosen. Cremation refers solely to the manner in which you or your loved one has chosen to deal with the physical remains. The need for a healing experience is not lessened by the decision to be cremated.
