Cremation Services

For many families, cremation provides a dignified and affordable alternative to traditional burial. Cremated remains may be buried, kept in a decorative urn, or scattered in a meaningful location. Cremation also provides more flexibility, allowing your memorial service or celebration of life to occur at a time and location that best suits your loved one’s memory.

Our cremation services provide families in the Denver and Aurora areas peace of mind in an often difficult and emotional time. Whether you choose a simple cremation or need help planning a one-of-a-kind gathering to honor and memorialize your loved one, we are here for you.

Options for Cremation

Cremation offers flexibility and options for personalizing a service to uniquely reflect the life it honors.

There are many options for cremation. You may choose a traditional funeral with your loved one’s body present at the service before the cremation is performed, a cremation followed by a memorial service or celebration, or a simple direct cremation.

Whether or not you have a traditional service or memorial, you can arrange a public or private viewing of your loved one prior to the cremation. All of our cremation options give families the option to permanently lay their loved one’s remains to rest in the way that’s best for them, whether that is burial or inurnment in a permanent resting place, kept at home in an urn, or scattered in a meaningful location.

Every cremation package we offer includes the basic services of a funeral director and staff, pick up and transfer of your loved one, cremation at our on-site crematorium, and crematory fee. The cremation process is governed by our Cremation Code of Ethics to ensure we adhere to the highest standards of integrity. All services can be customized to meet your unique needs and budget.
