Countryside Funeral Home & Crematory

Cremation Options

At Countryside, we own and operate our own crematory, which gives us a distinct advantage in this area of service. This isn't true of other funeral homes, who typically subcontract this service. At Countryside Funeral Homes & Crematory, your loved never leaves our care. 

Making the Options Clear

We offer three cremation options and each can be modified to meet your needs:

  • Traditional Cremation Services. These are much like a traditional funeral. The body of the deceased is placed in a specially-selected cremation casket or a rental casket, and is the focal point of the service. A visitation can take place prior to the funeral service and the cycle is completed with the cremation rather than a traditional burial. Once the cremation has occurred, the remains are returned to your family. You can then decide to scatter, bury, or retain the cremated remains in an urn or other keepsake.

  • Memorial Gathering after Cremation. This can occur at any time after the cremation process. The urn is usually on display at the service, which can take place in any setting preferred by the family.

  • Direct or Simple Cremation. This involves completion of all required paperwork and the transportation of the deceased from the hospital, home, nursing facility, or coroner's office to the crematory.
  • Always in Our Care

    We are full-care cremation specialists, providing each family the highest level of:

    • Courteous, professional service. Our dedicated staff will take care of all details, including prompt filing of required permits and notifications so your loved one's cremation will not be delayed.

    • Respectful care of the deceased and timely completion. Your loved one will be attended by certified crematory operators, each of whom has been trained to provide both compassionate care and conscientious attention to detail throughout the cremation process.

    • Safekeeping and prompt return of cremated remains. We know it's important for families to know their loved one will be coming home as soon as possible. We will notify you as soon as the ashes become available and safeguard the urn until you are ready to receive them.

    • Memorial Service or Celebration of Life. There are advantages to taking time to remember the life lived, share stories, and laugh or cry over all of the memories. One of our funeral directors can help you plan a fitting memorial service at our facility or in a place of your choosing.
