Choosing cremation is simply an alternative to a traditional casketed burial or entombment and doesn’t exclude you from celebrating and honoring your loved one’s life. After a cremation has taken place, your loved ones ashes can be brought to your place of worship for a religious ceremony or any other location of your choice for a memorial gathering or celebration of life.
After the cremation and funeral service, there are many choices for your loved one’s final resting place:
- Graveside services consist of a traditional ground burial or entombment within a cemetery. Graveside services often include 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 interment or another form of disposition.
- Close to Your Heart and Home - Placing cremated remains in multiple urns or in keepsake jewelry allows family members to each feel the comfort of having their loved one's final resting place close to them.
Honoring Veterans
We're proud to do our part in honoring our country's veterans. Our duty is not only to arrange the details of the funeral service, but also to inform you of the benefits your loved one may be entitled to and to assist with incorporating those benefits into a dignified and honorable service.
Eligible veterans are entitled to the folding and presenting of the American flag to the next of kin and the playing of Taps by a bugler. These honors are performed by a military honor guard detail that consists of at least two members of the Armed Forces.
Eligible veterans, their spouse, and any dependent children are also entitled to a grave or niche within the New Jersey veterans cemetery as well as a bronze military grave marker at no cost - Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery. Veterans will also be provided. We can arrange for the interment of an urn or casket within the veterans cemetery.
Military funeral honors are free of charge for honorably discharged veterans. The funeral home will require the veteran’s DD-214, or other available discharge papers.
Green Funeral Options
For those who want to be more environmentally friendly with their end-of-life decisions, we offer many eco-friendly urns and other merchandise options. This way, you can honor your loved one’s life while reducing their environmental impact.
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.
Memorial Service
The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants that lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
Graveside Service
Graveside services following cremation offer a meaningful way to honor your loved one with a final act of remembrance. This intimate gathering at the burial site of the urn provides a quiet moment for family and friends to reflect, share memories, and say goodbye in a peaceful setting. Whether simple or ceremonial, it’s a heartfelt way to bring closure and lay your loved one to rest with dignity.
