Graveside Services are similar to those celebrated alongside a traditional ground burial, in which loved one’s are present at the burial of the cremated remains and honour the deceased through memorial prayers or other meaningful tributes.
Scattering allows you to spread your loved ones cremated remains in a memorial garden, a cemetery, over water, or across any other meaningful site. You can also choose to scatter some of the cremated remains and retain the rest in an urn for interment.
Placing cremated remains in multiple urns allows family members who are separated by distance to each feel the comfort of having their loved ones final resting place in a nearby location.
Permanent Memorialization
After the ceremony is over, a permanent memorial can provide family and friends with a dedicated place to continue their healing journey.
A Lasting Tribute
The grieving process doesn’t end when the funeral does and neither does our service to you. Many times the ceremony is just
the first step to healing and recovery.
We can help you create a lasting tribute that gives family and friends a permanent place to visit when they need help feeling connected to the loved one who has died. It serves as a focus for their memory and provides a private place for reflection and peace. It also serves as a location for family and friends to commemorate important occasions and can help make it easier to cope on meaningful dates like birthdays and anniversaries. As the years pass, a permanent memorial will become a link to the past for younger generations who may not have had the opportunity to meet the departed loved one during their lifetime.
Cremation With Remembrance
Saying goodbye is certainly difficult. The details associated with an elaborate burial can become overwhelming at times. Perhaps this is not the direction for you and your loved ones. Considering final wishes, costs, and emotions, many people opt for cremation instead. Still allowing for many of the same choices as a burial, cremation is a simpler and yet equally meaningful way to say goodbye.
