Cremation with the Service You Want

Choosing cremation does not mean choosing between cremation and a meaningful goodbye. You can hold a traditional funeral with a visitation before the cremation, a memorial service afterward, or a simple, private farewell, whatever feels right for your family. We will help you design a service around the cremation, or arrange a direct cremation with no service at all.

Your Cremation Options

We offer several ways to approach cremation:

  • Direct cremation. The simplest and most affordable option, with no formal service beforehand. Direct cremation starts at $3,200, including a container and an urn.
  • Witnessed and family-led cremation. Your family may gather as the cremation begins, and a family member may start the process, with time for prayers, chanting, or ceremonial items.
  • Cremation with a memorial or funeral. Add a visitation, a funeral, or a memorial service before or after the cremation, with full personalization.

Not sure which is right? Call us and we will walk you through each option.

How We Protect Your Loved One

Because cremation cannot be undone, careful handling matters. We maintain strict identification and tracking from the first call through the return of the cremated remains, and our staff includes a certified crematory operator who helps make sure your loved one is identified and accounted for at every step. The cremation itself is carried out at a licensed local crematory partner. You can read more on our cremation safeguards page.

Personalize the Farewell

Cremation gives families flexibility, and you can still make the farewell personal. We can arrange:

  • A memorial or celebration of life. Hold it whenever the time feels right, in our chapel, at a church, or at a meaningful place.
  • Livestreaming and tribute videos. We livestream services to Facebook with a recording, and produce photo and video tributes.
  • A reception. Gather in our Rhone Reflection Room afterward, with catering and full setup.
  • An urn, keepsakes, or a marker. Choose from a range of urns and keepsakes, and a memorial marker through our own monument business.

You can keep, bury, scatter, or share the cremated remains, and we will guide you through the choices.

What Cremation Costs

Our direct cremation starts at $3,200, which keeps things simple and affordable. Adding a visitation, a funeral, or a memorial changes the cost based on what you choose, and we will always show you the full price in writing. For a complete breakdown, see our pricing page or ask for our General Price List.
