If cremation is your choice or the choice of your loved one, you have many service options when you use a Dignity Memorial® provider. Our caring professionals will respectfully work with you to plan cremation services and memorialization that fulfill your wishes and honor your life or the life of your loved one.

When you choose cremation, it’s important to remember to plan for the permanent placement of cremated remains as well. Cremation memorialization at your local cemetery is important for many reasons:

• A permanent site gives loved ones a physical place for visitation and reflection.
  
• The ceremony accompanying the placement of an urn in a cremation niche or a cremation garden in a cemetery provides family and friends with closure after the loss of a loved one.
• When ashes of a loved one are kept with relatives, they can easily become misplaced or discarded through the years, as future generations may not feel a connection to the deceased.
• A permanent placement provides future generations with a location to visit when researching heritage.
