Cremation Options

Choosing cremation offers flexibility and options to help you honor and say goodbye to your loved one in a meaningful way. A service can be held before or after cremation. If you would like to have your loved one’s body present for the service in a casket to allow guests to say goodbye, you would choose to hold a funeral service before the cremation. If you do not want to have your loved one’s body present at the service, cremation will happen first, and then a memorial service would be held. Some families find this a convenient choice when family members do not live nearby, because it allows more time for travel and arrangements to be made. Other families choose to have cremation only with no service or gathering. Your funeral director will share all of these options with you so you can make the choices that are right for you and your family.


There are also many options for what to do with the cremated remains. Ashes can be interred in a family plot or at a cemetery, either in a niche or within a memorial garden. Some families choose to keep a portion of the ashes in a special urn or piece of jewelry. Sometimes, people choose to scatter the ashes in a location that had significance to the deceased, such as a favorite park, beach, or nature spot. There are restrictions around where cremated remains can be scattered. If you have a place in mind, check with local municipalities or your funeral director for assistance.

Why do I need a vault?

By Tukios Websites • February 14, 2024
Many families ask us about the need for a burial vault, wondering why it is necessary. It works like this. The casket encloses the body, and the outer burial container (known as a vault) encloses the casket, sustaining the weight of the earth and protecting it from the elements. Most cemeteries require an outer burial container of some kind to protect the grave space from the settling earth and heavy machinery. Lined burial vaults provide the most protection to the casket. This example shows the impact of settling and machinery on a grave space with no vault, an unlined outer burial container, and a lined burial vault. Vaults are available in precious metals such as bronze and copper, stainless steel and concrete. To see a selection of vaults as well as our other services and merchandise, please talk to your funeral director.

Scattering ceremonies

By Tukios Websites • October 11, 2022
When planning a scattering ceremony, consider that in some ways, scattering cremated remains is like lowering a casket into the ground at a cemetery, in that you are laying your loved one to rest. One difference is that you most likely won’t have a minister or officiant there to guide you through the process. It is a unique moment for your family that you will want to spend some time planning. It is also best to be prepared for certain practical aspects of the process, and to help other family members learn what to expect. Take a look at our article on what to expect while scattering . Before the scattering, consider asking a family member to speak a few words, or lead a prayer. You might have everyone share a story, a memory or a goodbye wish. Music is very appropriate to the occasion, and you could play music on a portable device or have a musician play or sing live. When it is time to scatter the remains, find a sheltered area away from the wind, hold the urn low to the ground and pour out a small amount at a time. Cremated remains are very lightweight and will blow freely in even the slightest breeze. It is best to do this low to the ground so they do not blow back onto you or other onlookers. Typically, there will be plenty for several family members or friends to take turns scattering, if they wish. Realize that not everyone in your family may be completely comfortable with the concept of scattering. Some may want to participate, while others may prefer to wait at a distance. Afterwards, each guest could lay a flower at the site of the scattering. This is a beautiful way to mark the spot. Consider adjourning to a local restaurant for an extended time of reminiscing and supporting each other. We hope that this information gives you some ideas for planning a scattering ceremony. Please call us if you have any questions; we are here to help.

Memorial services after cremation

By Tukios Websites • March 21, 2016
Memorial services after cremation are becoming quite common, but you may never have been involved in planning one before. Here are some ideas to get you started. Timing A memorial service can be held any point after cremation, since there is no time pressure of burying the body at a cemetery. Some families choose to have a service within a few days of the death, while others may wait a few weeks or even months. There are advantages to holding the service quickly. It allows family and friends to gather during the difficult time immediately following the loss to comfort and support one another. It can be strange to go right back to daily life after losing someone you love. A service doesn’t necessarily bring closure, but it is an important milestone along your journey, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.  On the other hand, having a service a few weeks or months after the death allows you time to plan a meaningful service without rushing through the details. You have more flexibility for selecting a venue and arranging travel schedules for out-of-town guests. Location A memorial service may be held anywhere large enough to accommodate your guests. This might include a church, our funeral home, a banquet hall, restaurant, club or park. Make sure you keep weather in mind when considering an outdoor location. Formality A memorial service can be as formal as you want it to be. The tone of a service tends to be set by the location, officiant, type of music played, religious elements, etc. A memorial service that includes a sharing time among the guests tends to be less formal in nature. Officiant An officiant guides you and your guests through the various aspects of the service. This person could be a minister, celebrant or friend of the family. If you do not have a minister or anyone in mind, our staff can make a recommendation. An officiant should typically be given an honorarium by the family for their efforts. Elements of a service Here are some common elements of a memorial service: Video tribute with family photos Special music (live or recorded) Remarks about the life of the deceased A time of sharing memories by guests Readings of poetry or religious texts Prayers Display of photos, awards, memorabilia Handout with the order of service and obituary Other ideas include: Dove or butterfly release Balloon release by guests Catered or potluck meal Candle lighting ceremony Favors for guests (packet of seeds, ribbon to wear, or other keepsake) The important thing to remember is that a memorial service is to celebrate and honor the life of your loved one, and allow you to feel the support of family, friends and the community in your time of loss.
