Cremation Options


You may think your options are limited when picking affordable cremation as the final disposition method, but you have just as many, if not more, funeral service options than when picking burial as the final disposition method. On this page, we will go through your funeral service options when choosing cremation and even provide a breakdown of how to pick the best option for you. 

Understanding Your Funeral Service Options When Choosing Affordable Cremation

Traditional Cremation Services

These are much like a traditional funeral. The body of the deceased, placed in a specially-selected cremation casket or a rental 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.

Funeral Service After Cremation 

A funeral service after a cremation can range from a traditional funeral service with just the urn present rather than the deceased, a memorial service, a celebration of life, a graveside service, if the deceased prefers to be buried after cremation, or even an ash scattering service

Direct Cremation With No Service After 

This involves completion of all required paperwork and the transportation of the deceased from the hospital, home, nursing facility, or coroner's office to the crematory. This is our most simple and budget friendly.

What to do With Ashes After Cremation


Just as you do with funeral service options, there are many alternatives for when the cremation and services are complete and you are deciding what to do with the remaining ashes.

Ground Burial 

If the deceased has already purchased a plot or it is their desire to be buried with loved ones in a family plot, an urn can be buried just the same as a casket. This also allows for the opportunity for a graveside service after cremation. 

Columbarium Placement

Many, if not all, cemeteries having a columbarium in which urns can be placed and remain. A niche placement allows for an interment ceremony, similar to what you would see in a graveside service.

Scatter Them

Taking your loved one's ashes and hosting an ash scattering ceremony is a good option if there was a significant location in your loved ones life. Be sure to check any applicable bylaws in order to make sure you're allowed to spread ashes at the particular location.

Keep Them

You have three options when it comes to keeping cremated remains:
1. Select an urn you think would best represent your loved one and a place in your home you would like to display the urn. 
2. Divide the ashes into smaller, keepsake urns or jewelry. This way, many people can have a piece of your loved one with them at all times. 
3. Do both. Some ashes can be divided for keepsake jewelry or urns and the rest can be put in a full sized urn to display in someone's home.
