Services |

Our
commitment to you and your family begins the moment you initially
request our services. As a family owned and operated funeral
home, we are proud to have a staff that gives careful attention
to the type of service you and your family wants for your loved
one.
Cremation is a process that prepares the body for its
final disposition. By using the crematorium, the body is reduced
to ashes by burning. |

| Laws
& Requirements Regarding Cremation |

There
may be legal requirements or crematory requirements for this
process.
|
- In
Illinois, cremation may not be done until 24 hours following
death.
- A
coroner's permit is required for cremation.
- Embalming
is not required for cremation. The funeral home may require
embalming if you select a ceremony option with public
viewing.

are not required to be purchased for a cremation. The
crematory requires an alternative container for the remains
to be placed in for the cremation.
- Based
on individual cemetery policies, an urn or urn vault may
be required for burial of cremains.

Service Options |

Cremation
does not limit your choices for services. You may personalize
the services as you desire. Cremation provides an alternative
to traditional funeral services yet still allows the option
of a visitation and funeral services, should they be selected.
Options for the ashes from the human remains include: burial
in a cemetery, scattering of the ashes, placement in an urn
to be kept at home, or placement in a columbarium niche. Here
are some options for a cremation service:
