Cremation Services
Cremation can be a beautiful and dignified alternative to burial as a means of laying a loved one to rest. When you choose cremation, you can scatter a loved one’s ashes in a special place, bury or inter them at a cemetery, or keep a part of them close to home in a decorative urn or memorial jewelry.
Funerals and Memorial Services
Cremation can follow a traditional funeral with a viewing. You may also choose to have your loved one cremated first, then hold a memorial service with or without the ashes present. In either case, our funeral directors can help you to create a personalized celebration of life ceremony that will help you memorialize and honor your loved one and tell their story through eulogy, community, and personal touches.
Being There
If you wish, your family members can gather for a private viewing and be present at the start of the cremation. Many people find that having this chance to say final goodbyes can be powerfully healing. You may witness your loved one’s cremation in addition to or in place of a funeral service if you wish.
Burial and Ash Scattering
There are several options for what to do with a loved one’s ashes. They can be buried in a grave or placed in a columbarium niche, providing a permanent resting place you can visit to remember your departed loved one. Or, you may wish to plan a meaningful ash scattering ceremony to say goodbye in a memorable way. Pipkin Braswell can help you with arranging cremation, handling all necessary paperwork, and guiding you in choosing the services that work best for your family’s needs.
