Ask Us Anything:

  • Can I still have a funeral service if my loved one is being cremated?

    Absolutely. Choosing cremation doesn’t mean you have to skip a service. Many families hold traditional visitations or celebrations of life before or after cremation to honor their loved one and allow friends and family to gather.
