What choices are there? Concerns about cremation often come about through misunderstanding and misinformation. When the death of a loved one occurs, a family needs and looks for the time and opportunity to gather and to experience the support of other family members, their faith, friends, and community and to celebrate the life of someone loved. Unfortunately, some believe that cremation somehow eliminates all these healthy, supportive and healing opportunities. In truth, cremation is simply one of the nal physical steps just as a burial is. The same opportunities to gather and experience faith and community can certainly take place regardless of other nal decisions that are made. We offer a broad range of cremation oriented services including many that are very traditional and include a Mass of Christian Burial followed by burial of the cremated remains in a Catholic Cemetery; others with a Memorial Service rather than visitation period; and other options that are tailored to meet the speci c needs of a particular family. Cremation need not deprive us of the important spiritual and communal opportunities that our faith and traditions offer and so we try to have support and meaning be a part of each service we are privileged to conduct.
