Cremation Services

As one of the first crematories in the state of North Carolina, we have over 40 years of experience. Our crematory is onsite. We only offer cremation. We do not do traditional funerals. If you have considered cremation, either for a loved one or yourself, you are not alone. Our goal is to help you have a meaningful, respectful experience in this difficult time at an affordable price.   Please call to obtain additional information or to set up an appointment with our licensed funeral director.

Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation

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

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 who lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained to create experiences that help start the healing process.

Graveside Service

A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service but it can also be a small intimate gathering of those closest to you.

Burying

the Urn

Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place.
