Direct Cremation

Healthy grief requires certain processes and actions as both Dr. J. William Worden of Harvard Medical School and Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt, a prolific author of more than fifty books about grief, remind us.

Families need to move toward the pain, gather, and accept the reality of the loss. That is why some elements of the funeral services are so important in the healing process; viewing, memorialization, readings, eulogy and remembrance in the ceremony, procession, sharing memories, and symbols like flowers and candles among others.

If you have chosen direct cremation without a service, we can still serve you and your loved one with the utmost care. We, as funeral service professionals, understand that funeral or memorial services are a foundation on which you can move forward in the grieving process and heal, which we encourage you to do whether it be through our funeral home or a more intimate setting with family and friends at a home, restaurant, or location in which your loved one liked to visit.
