Cremation Options

Should cremation be your choice, you continue to have all the options available to you in the process of the final care of you or of your loved one. We will provide you with a time for visitation, a funeral service or a memorial service, and an interment. Should you choose, you may witness the beginning of the process and then hold an appropriate concluding service in the church of your choice, in our lovely Memorial Park Funeral Home Chapel, or at the Columbarium Chapel at Memorial Park. (Summer 2017)
