How to Plan a Cremation

Cremation planning can seem like a daunting task, especially if experience with the funeral industry has been minimal up until this point. We've created this guide to better help you understand how to plan a cremation and what steps are involved in cremation planning.

Cremation Planning Guide

Using our cremation planning guide below, you will be able to decide if cremation really is the best option for you and if it is, how to plan one without missing any details.

Before the Cremation Decision is Made

  1.  Learn about your cremation options. Review the cremation information found on our website. 
  2. Talk to your loved ones.We urge you to bring your family into the conversation to get a better idea about how they feel about cremation and what they would prefer. Whether you are planning for yourself or someone else, getting the opinions of your loved ones will help you feel more solidified in your decision.
  3. Speak with a funeral professional. If there are any questions or concerns, please turn to us for the insights you may need at this point. Though cremation has been a popular choice for quite some time, there are still many questions that can be left unanswered. 
  4. Document your cremation intentions in writing. There are a number of forms we can provide to take this step. Call us to learn more. This step is most important if you are pre-planning for yourself. To erase any opportunity for dispute about what your final wishes actually are, write it down and ensure your choice funeral home and next of kin has a copy of your wishes. 
  5. Arrange for the transportation of your or your loved one's physical remains. We can escort them to our facility or directly to the crematory.
