Cremation

Cremation may serve as a funeral or post-funeral rite that is an alternative to the interment of a casket in ground burial or entombment in a Mausoleum. Cremated remains may be buried or inurned in memorial sites in most cemeteries.  They may also be legally retained by relatives or dispersed in a variety of ways and locations. Many people mistakenly believe that the process of cremation is an end in itself, but it is not. Cremation includes preparation for memorialization just as in traditional burial. In fact, the options for the final disposition of cremated remains and the subsequent memorials used to honor them are many and varied.

Traditional and non-traditional services are commonly used for cremation.  The traditional service, with the urn present, can be carried out in any of Cherokee Memorial Park & Funeral Home’s chapels, columbariums or gravesites.  Whereas, the Celebration of Life Service, without the urn present, can be concluded without the difficulty of having the urn at the service. Personalizing the service with photos, objects that characterize the person and other numerous options are ways to make your loved one’s service more meaningful to everyone present.

Financial and Property Options for Cremation

The wide variety of options and financial considerations has made cremation an increasingly popular choice by many families. However, people may overlook the importance of future memorialization for those who choose cremation making permanent placement or “final disposition” an important part of final arrangements.

Cherokee Memorial Park provides a wide variety of property options to memorialize a loved one's cremated remains. Those options include indoor and outdoor niches, elevated urn gardens, scattering gardens and traditional interment property (reserved typically for casket burials).
