Cremation

Cremation may be chosen as an alternative to a traditional casket burial. Cremation is the process of reducing the body to basic chemical compounds in the form of gases and bone fragments through high temperatures and vaporization. The decision to cremate has become very popular in Broward County and across the country for a number of reasons:
• Religious beliefs
• Ethnic customs
• Simplification of the funeral process
• Personal preference
• Cost

Generally, cremated remains are placed in a receptacle known as an urn. Urns come in many different sizes and styles:
• Single Urn encases the cremated remains of one person
• Companion Urn encases the cremated remains of two people
• Keepsake Urn encases only a portion of the cremated remains so that they may be taken home

Personal wishes of the deceased, or the next of kin, will determine the final disposition of the urn. The following are options with the urn:
• Inter the urn in a traditional cemetery space
• Inter the urn in our cremation only garden.
• inurn the urn in the niche walls of our mausoleums
