What to Think about for Funeral and Cremation Services in Kaysville, UT

Many families feel like they have a million decisions to make about the funeral services and how their loved one will be laid to rest. The benefit of working with an experienced funeral home is that we offer a step-by-step process so that you can face these decisions one at a time. This streamlined system is designed to reduce your stress and optimize the results of the event.  

Ultimately, it’s up to you to design a funeral or cremation that is a good fit for your family. But our team provides the full support and care you need through all stages of designing funeral services.  

Here are a few of the essential details that should be included in your funeral plan: 

• Final Resting Place: The location where the body is laid to rest is a place that you will visit over and over again in the future. Some families find comfort in having a casket or urn placed in a family cemetery plot. Others don’t want to be limited by a cemetery placement. So, they choose cremation instead so the ashes can be put in another location as desired. Cremated ashes can be laid to rest through scattering outside, buried in a memorial garden or tree, or kept close to home in a memorial urn. 
• Event for the Family: Your family needs time to meet where they can share memories and renew relationships. If you have a small family, then an intimate gathering at home might be sufficient. For example, some people choose direct cremation but don’t require support from the funeral director for a formal event. On the other hand, some families want to hold a large gathering for the neighbors and community. This big funeral can be held at our funeral home or a chapel of your choice. 
• Memorial Items: It can be nice to have a token of your love for the deceased. Small memorial items can be a reminder of the good times you spent together. Families often choose thumbprint jewelry, tribute videos, or other unique items that reflect the individual’s personality. 
• Transportation and Logistics: A range of details need to be handled related to transportation of the deceased as well as paperwork, obituary publishing, death certificate requirements, and more. Most people don’t know where to begin with these requirements, which is why you need to have the services of a dependable funeral home for support. We can handle all aspects of the necessary funeral services including transportation to and from the funeral home. 

This list is just a brief overview of the things that should be discussed with a funeral director. Our team is here to help as you are navigating the industry and learning about your options.

What is memorialization for a cremation?

You might choose ground burial of the urn. If so, you may usually choose either a bronze memorial or monument. Cremation niches in columbariums are also available at many cemeteries. They offer the beauty of a mausoleum setting with the benefits of above ground placement of remains.

Can we scatter the cremated remains?

If you wish to have your ashes scattered somewhere, it is important to discuss your wishes to be scattered ahead of time with the person or persons who will actually have to do the cremation ashes scattering ceremony, as they might want to let your funeral professional assist in the scattering ceremony.
