FAQs

Q: Q: Must I purchase a casket if I have a visitation prior to cremation?

No, it is not necessary to purchase a casket if you choose to have a visitation prior to cremation. We have an attractive hardwood rental casket with an enclosed cremation unit available for use during the viewing and funeral service. Following the service, the body remains in the cremation unit, which is then removed from the rental casket and transported to the crematory. The interior of the rental casket is then replaced with another cremation unit for future use.

Q: Q: Do I need to purchase an urn or urn vault with cremation?

No. However, if you prefer to have the cremains placed in a container, you may choose an urn from the wide selection that we offer at the funeral home, or you can provide a suitable container into which we will place the cremains.

Q: Q: Can I still have a viewing or service if I choose cremation?

Yes. Choosing cremation in no way limits your choices with respect to services prior to the cremation. The only difference between a funeral followed by burial and one followed by cremation is that the deceased is taken to the crematory after the service instead of to a cemetery.
