Choosing Cremation Doesn't Mean Skipping the Service

February 9, 2026

Many people believe that choosing cremation means there will be no viewing or funeral service. This is a common misunderstanding. Cremation is simply a final step—it does not prevent families from gathering, remembering, and honoring a loved one through meaningful services beforehand. Why a Service Matters A visitation or funeral service gives family and friends the opportunity to come together during a difficult time. Many families find comfort in: Seeing loved ones come to pay their respects Sharing stories and memories Feeling supported by the presence of others When services are held, people are far more likely to reach out, attend, and offer comfort in person . Personal Touches That Celebrate a Life Services allow families to create a tribute that reflects the individual’s life and personality, including: Photo and video tributes Meaningful music and readings Beautiful floral arrangements Personal displays and memorabilia These details help tell a story, spark conversation, and create lasting memories for those who attend. Viewing Can Be an Important Part of Healing For many families, a viewing provides a peaceful opportunity to say goodbye. It allows loved ones to see the person at rest and can be an important step in the grieving process. We’re Here to Guide You Every family is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. If you are considering cremation, we encourage you to explore the option of having a visitation or funeral service first. Our experienced staff is here to help you create a meaningful service that honors your loved one and brings people together when it matters most.
