Cremation Containers
Cremation containers are comprised of composite and solid wood components. The wood choices are mahogany, walnut cherry, maple, oak, pine, hardwood and veneer. These are the most appropriate for a private viewing.
Memorial Urn

Cremation Burials
More families are choosing to bury the cremated remains of their loved ones. A permanent place of burial or entombment allows family and friends to visit as often as they like. The visits help them to feel close to the person while still acknowledging their death. Our funeral director will help you purchase a cemetery plot or entombment according to your needs.
