How it works

Once you contact , your family will be guided through a series of digital forms to provide necessary information and complete paperwork. These forms often include details about the deceased, such as their name, date of birth, and place of death. Additionally, the family is able to select any optional services and urn preferences.

After the paperwork is submitted and any necessary authorizations are obtained, the cremation process itself is conducted.

Once the cremation is completed, the ashes can be either collected by the family or delivered to them, often through a courier service or postal mail.

Submitting the paper work

Filling out the necessary forms is made easy with our planning online option. Should you have questions or run into any issues our caring staff is ready to assist you.

Returning your loved one

The ashes are returned to the family, whether this be by direct pickup, courier service or postal mail.
