Why Choose Cremation?
People are opting for cremation in record numbers and rejecting the idea that they should go ahead with
a traditional burial simply because "that's the way it's always been done." For some it is a more natural
process than a burial, while others choose it for environmental concerns. Your last wishes should be a true
reflection of the individual you are in life. From a pragmatic standpoint, many people find that
cremation just makes sense.
Cremation is the conscientious Choice.
Choosing cremation means you are choosing to give back to the earth. Cremation is often seen as
less wasteful and more economically friendly by reducing land use and even relieving the need for
funeral precessions involving many vehicles, police escorts and increased carbon foot prints traveling to
cemeteries in a group.
Cremation gives you additional options.
You have the freedom to be memorialized in a number of ways: ashes can be buried, put into a niche,
scattered in one or multiple places, sent into space, kept at home, divided among children, or
even made into jewelry. If you already own a plot or niche in a cemetery internment can take place there.
We have experience offering a broad range of cremation services. In addition to owning our own
crematories, we also help you plan the ceremony, make arrangements for final disposition
and permanent memorial. Stanleys Signature Cremation Services
