Cremation with Services

Today, cremation is becoming much more common as a method of final disposition.  Most families also hold memorial services, an important step in helping the bereaved overcome their grief, and offering family and friends the opportunity to honor a loved one.

Contrary to what some people believe, cremation itself increases your choices.  It should not be looked on as a break with family or religious traditions, but rather as one part in a series of events that leads to memorialization.

Memorial services can take place at the funeral home or place of worship of your choice or here in the cemetery grounds at our Waterfall Columbarium Garden.  Gathering together for a service acknowledges the grief of relatives and friends by helping them feel included in the grieving process. 

The Funeral Director at the funeral home of your choice will guide you and will explain several methods of conducting the memorial services. Memorial items can include prayer cards, acknowledgement cards, and a register book.   This gives loved ones the opportunity to share stories, give eulogies and otherwise reaffirm the value the deceased person had in other's lives.

Once the memorial service has been arranged, plans should be made for establishing a permanent memorial to serve as a focal point for remembrance.  Usually cremated remains are placed in some type of permanent receptacle (an urn), before being committed to a final resting place.  At Memorial Pines Cemetery, we have a complete display of urns from which you may choose or you may choose at the funeral home that was in charge of the memorial arrangements.

After the ceremony, the urn can be:

• placed in our indoor glass or bronze front niches or in our outdoor Waterfall Columbarium.
• interred in your family burial plot.
• interred in our special Cristo Rey Cremation garden that Memorial Pines Cemetery provides for cremated remains
• Cremated remains may also be scattered.

 Memorial Pines Cemetery offers Mountain View Scattering Garden.  You can scatter the ashes of your departed loved one and a bronze and granite small plaque is placed in the area stating name, date of birth and date of death
