How The

Process Works

A simple, clear process — no mystery, no jargon, no drama

Cremation shouldn’t feel like decoding a government form or navigating a maze.

We keep it straightforward, transparent, and human.

Here’s how it actually works:

●       Day or night, this part happens quickly, quietly, and respectfully.  A member of our team comes to the home, hospital, or facility, introduces themselves, explains what’s about to happen, and moves at your pace.

No runaround. No delays. No “we’ll get to it when we get to it.”

Just steady, professional care from people who do this work every day — even in the middle of the night when the rest of the world is asleep. The goal is simple: make the hardest moment feel calm and handled.

●       We handle the paperwork There’s paperwork. There’s always paperwork. But we walk you through it so it doesn’t feel like a pop quiz you didn’t study for. We explain what matters, what doesn’t, and what we take care of for you.

●       Your loved one stays in our on-site crematory This is the part where most families exhale. Your loved one stays with us. Not across town. Not in someone else’s building. Not in a place you’d need Google Maps to find. Our crematory is on-site, secure, and operated by trained professionals — exactly the way it should be.

●       The cremation takes place Handled by trained professionals who take this work seriously. No shortcuts. No rushing. No "we’ll get around to it when we feel like it" attitude. We handle this with a sense of urgency, because "eventually" isn't a professional standard.

●       We return the ashes to your family In the simple container included in our service, something meaningful you bring, or an urn or keepsake you choose. No pressure. No upselling. No “limited-time upgrade opportunities.” Just a straightforward, respectful handoff.

●       You take a breath. We’ve handled the hard part. You focus on what matters.

Trust &

Transparency

Trust isn’t something you claim. It’s something you prove.

Anyone can say “trust us.” Most funeral homes do — usually right before they hand your loved one off to a third-party crematory you’ve never heard of.

We don’t do that. Your loved one stays with us. Period.

We built our own on-site crematory because we wanted full oversight, full accountability, and zero mystery.

●       No outsourcing.

●       No “partner facilities.”

●       No surprise road trips.

●       No vans doing laps around the county like they’re delivering packages.

Your loved one stays in our care the entire time — and we can show you exactly where that is. Transparency is our default setting We don’t hide our process. We don’t bury details in the fine print. We don’t use vague language to make things sound fancier than they are.

●       If you want to understand how something works, we’ll explain it.

●       If you want to see our crematory, we’ll show you.

●       If you want to know who’s handling your loved one, we’ll tell you.

No secrets. No smoke and mirrors. No “industry standard” excuses. We answer our own phones — mostly During the day, you get us. Real humans. Real answers. Real accountability. After hours, non-urgent calls go to a small answering service. They’re nice. They’re awake. It works out for everyone. Urgent calls still reach us directly — because some things can’t wait. 

Five generations of doing things the right way We’ve been here since 1894. We’re not going anywhere. And we don’t cut corners — because our name is on the door, and our reputation is older than most of the buildings in town.

Trust isn’t a slogan. It’s a system. And we’ve built ours to be rock-solid.
