As our world grows and evolves many people are turning to cremation as an alternative to traditional burial or entombment. There are a variety of reasons for this, ranging from cost factors, spiritual or personal beliefs, greater acceptance among the world’s religions to environmental philosophy or simple convenience.
The traditional and important aspects of a funeral such as viewing, visitations and having the loved-one present at a ceremony are not only possible, but encouraged when thinking about cremation. Like all funerals, services involving cremation can be public or private, and cremation can occur either before or after the service. Many people opt to have his/her loved ones cremated right away, which allows them the flexibility to hold a memorial service at a later time to meet scheduling, financial or other needs.
Walton’s owns and operates three crematories, so you can be assured that the level of care you will receive as a client of ours extends through the cremation process as well. All members of our staff will always treat your dearly departed loved one with the grace and dignity they deserve.
