Cremation Services
Cremation Services
If your family has chosen cremation, we have a range of services that help celebrate the life of your loved one while giving you several options for a public gathering, and final resting place.
It's often seen as easier not to have a memorial service or funeral and it's certainly seen as a less expensive alternative. However, as you experience in other things in life, an easy, cheaper path is not always the better one for those family members and friends left behind. Grief experts all agree: a ceremony is an important part of the healing process. Take a minute to listen to Frankie Bennett, owner of Jackson Lytle & Lewis talk about the importance of how a service helps with the grief journey and moving forward without the person who was so close to your heart.
Funeral Service followed by Cremation
Many families find meaning and comfort in a personalized funeral service. With a funeral service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral
service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family in an urn, buried or placed in a columbarium.
Memorial Service
The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants that lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
Graveside Service
A graveside service can be held in place of a funeral and can be preceded by visitation at the cemetery or at the funeral home if desired.
Committal Service
A committal service is typically held at the cemetery immediately following the funeral service.
Permanent Memorialization
Keeping an urn at Home
This is a common choice and families can select the perfect urn for the loved one.
Placing the Urn in a Columbarium (aka, a “niche”)
Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.
Burying the Urn
Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place.
Scattering the Cremated Remains
Some families find comfort scattering the cremated remains in a place that was special to their loved one.
