Cremation Services

Understanding how Cremation takes place: 

Cremation is the process of diminishing the body to fragments of bone tissue by means of high temperature and fire.  Cremated remains resemble coarse sand and are whitish to light grey in color.  The remains of an average size adult usually weigh between four to eight pounds of cremated remains.

It is vital to understand that Cremation is a permanent and irreversible process, so it should be well thought out.  Of equal importance is the consideration of a viewing, private or public, prior to the cremation.  The long-term value of a traditional viewing and funeral service is a treasured element in the grieving process.
