Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation

Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.

Cremation followed by Memorial Service or Celebration of Life

The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses... even on your own beautiful property. The main difference between this and a funeral service is that the body is not present. Instead, families may opt for a Focal Point Photo for the service, A memory table featuring the deceased favorite items, or even the urn, surrounded by beautiful flowers.


We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or spoken word. We also have contacts for life celebrants that lead services. Celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process, and create a more custom farewell in their storytelling abilities.

Witness Cremation


A witness cremation offers family and friends the opportunity to have an ID viewing and simple ceremony before the cremation process. This option allows the family to say goodbye which can be very healing and therapeutic, especially in the case of sudden or traumatic death.


A witness cremation is an intimate affair with usually a small gathering of close family members held at our in house crematory. 


After the ID-viewing and simple ceremony, the family may choose to help the funeral director insert the casket into the chamber and start the machinery.


If you would like to decorate the cremation box (for flame), we can arrange to have one delivered to your home (cost varies depending on location). This can be a very healing ritual, especially for young children who have a chance to participate and express their love in messages and art work. You may bring the decorated box to our facility on the day of the cremation, or we can arrange to have it transported. This service allows family and friends to personalize the cremation box, adding a tender touch to soften an industrialized process.

Scattering at Sea or Water

Many people feel a strong connection to the sea. We offer send off of cremated remains at sea via charter boat which can accommodate up to 22 guests.


US federal law allows for the scattering of ashes at sea but certain conditions must be met, including the use of decomposable flowers and wreaths,  ensuring that ashes are scattered at least three nautical miles from shore, and others requirements.


Upon arrival at the desired location, the captain will position the vessel boat into the wind and with enough forward speed to prevent the cremains from being blown back into the vessel. The ceremony can range from clergy reciting prayers to family members reciting poetry to a few poignant comments and everything in between.


Family members have the option to scatter the cremains if they so choose, or set them a sail in a special biodegradable floating urn.


The cremains are placed in the water and allowed to descend into the ocean.
