Choosing the Cremation Casket/Container
Choosing a cremation casket is an essential part of planning, just as important as selecting the ceremony. The casket you choose will enhance the personalized tribute created to honor your loved one. It serves as their resting place before and during cremation, providing dignity during family viewings or community visitations.
We offer a range of styles to help you select a casket that reflects your loved one’s unique personality and legacy.
Personalizing the Ceremony
A ceremony offers an opportunity to share the news of a loved one’s passing, honor their story, and celebrate their life. Whether understated or grand, traditional or modern, the most meaningful ceremonies are those that reflect their relationships, passions, and the cherished memories you shared.
Honoring your loved one can involve selecting one or a combination of the following options:
Conventional
A gathering for the community, including visitation and a personalized tribute, held before the cremation. This provides an opportunity for family and friends to come together, share memories, and offer support.
Memorial
A gathering after cremation where family and friends can reflect and connect during a meaningful program that honors the life and memories of your loved one.
Private
A more intimate option, allowing close family or friends to say goodbye in a private setting before cremation.
These options serve as a guide to help you create a tribute that reflects your loved one’s life and legacy.
Memorialization and Selecting the Final Resting Place
Whether you choose a personalized memorial, a piece of jewelry, or a keepsake, having a lasting memento can be a meaningful way to honor your loved one and cherish the time you shared together.
Memorial Urns
Selecting an urn is an important decision, as it serves as the final resting place for your loved one. With a wide variety of styles, materials, and personalization options available, you can choose one that suits their memory and final placement. Whether the urn is buried in a cemetery, placed in a niche, kept at home or in a garden, or used for ceremonial scattering, it can reflect your loved one’s legacy.
Personal Memorialization
Many families find comfort in sharing keepsakes or remembrance jewelry with relatives and friends. These personal memorials can include a small portion of your loved one’s cremated remains, petals from flowers at the service, soil from the burial site, or simply act as a meaningful reminder of their life. These tangible tributes provide a lasting connection to your loved one.
