A Helpful Guide to Understanding Cremations February 19, 2016

Whether there is a traditional service and burial or a cremation, we want to assure you our professional staff is here to serve you.

That is why we have made available our free, downloadable guide to cremations called “Cremations, a Caring Choice for Final Arrangements.”

There has been an unquestionable acceptance of cremations, not only in the United States, but worldwide. This acceptance is fueled by many factors, including financial and environmental concerns. Many would rather see money, that would otherwise have been spent on final services, be directed to a good cause or even toward a grandchild’s education. The cremation versus burial equation had neared 50/50 in this country and it continues to grow.
