For those who desire to witness the beginning of the cremation process, we offer a private viewing room, pictured here.

We are often asked what exactly happens during a cremation. First, the casket or container holding the deceased is placed in the cremation chamber. After a couple of hours, the cremated remains are carefully removed from the cremation chamber, processed and placed into an urn chosen and purchased by the family. Throughout the entire process, we use a meticulous labeling system to ensure accurate identification of the cremated remains. This process follows our commitment to providing the highest standard of care in every aspect of our services to each family who chooses our funeral home.
