People are choosing cremations in record numbers because they are simpler, more affordable and more environmentally friendly than traditional funerals and burials. Cherished Memories specializes in cremations. We provide high-quality, professional and compassionate service to families without the high-cost and high-pressure associated with many funeral homes. Do you perform cremations at your facility? Yes. We own and operate our own on-site crematorium. Your loved one never leaves our care. Is cremation really more environmentally friendly than traditional burial? Yes. Cremation requires no harmful chemicals or plastics like those routinely used in the embalming process. Cremation is also a lot less wasteful than traditional burial: it doesn't require an expensive casket made of steel, brass or hardwood and it doesn't require a burial vault made of concrete or fibreglass. And because Cherished Memories uses up-to-date cremation technology, you can be assured that our cremation process is 99.9% emissions free. What can we do with our Loved One's Ashes? Cremation gives you and your family many options: Ashes can be buried or scattered in a place -- or several places -- that are meaningful to you; Ashes can be placed into a niche in a columbarium (an urn wall); or Ashes can be kept at home in an urn, or divided up between loved ones in small keepsake urns. |
