On-Site Crematory

Nationwide, cremation is on the rise. In fact, it is projected that by the year 2025, over 43% of those who are faced with the decision will choose cremation over in-ground burial.

What is Cremation?

Cremation is, as you may be aware, the process of reducing the body of the deceased to fragments of bone by way of heat and flame. What remains of the body after this process is often called “ashes,” however we prefer to say “cremated remains” because we think that the word “ashes” can be misunderstood.

We will be pleased to explain the consistency of cremated remains in as much detail as you prefer. And, if you are considering scattering we ask that you allow us to prepare you for what you will see.

The Religious Aspects of a Cremation Decision

We embrace and respect cultural and religious diversity. Working with a family's clergy or cultural leader, we make sure that religious guidelines are strictly followed. If the deceased is Jewish, Christian Orthodox, Muslim, or Roman Catholic, we always suggest that you consult clergy or our staff for guidance.
