Cremation Services
The biggest misconception about cremation is that there can't be a funeral service or visitation. This is absolutely not the case —we encourage you to consider holding a memorial service to celebrate the life of the deceased. Whether it’s through a final viewing before the cremation or through a formal service either before or after the cremation. If you want to take part in the cremation process, contact the Roberts Family Funeral Home staff for further details.
After the cremation, there are a variety of choices for your loved one's final disposition. Your decision will depend on your religious beliefs and personal preferences, but here are some options to consider:
- Interment means that you'll bury or entomb your loved one's cremated remains. This can be in a family plot, a memorial site, a cremation niche or urn garden, or in a variety of other indoor and outdoor locations. Ask our staff for a detailed list of local interment possibilities.
- Graveside services are similar to those celebrated alongside a traditional ground burial, in which loved ones are present at the burial of the cremated remains and honor the deceased through memorial prayers or other meaningful tributes.
- Scattering allows you to spread your loved one's cremated remains in a memorial garden, a cemetery, over water, or across any other meaningful site. You also can choose to scatter some of the cremated remains and retain the rest in an urn for internment or another form of disposition.
- Placing cremated remains in multiple urns allows family members who are separated by distance to each feel the comfort of having their loved one's final resting place in a nearby location.
These are the common package selections for cremation coinciding with a memorial service or celebration of life. Merchandise (Urn/Memorial Products) or 3rd party charges (Obituaries, Flowers, Lunch, etc...) are not included in this pricing.
