Affordable Cremation Services

Our Newfoundland Cremation Services

Every family has a preferred method to honour a deceased loved one. Some would opt for a traditional burial, while others would prefer a more modern way of disposing of the remains of the deceased. Cremation has become a widespread practice in North America. Numerous statistics show that over 50 percent of families preferred cremation in 2018 and this trend is set to rise to 80 percent by 2035 if people continue to embrace this honourable practice. 

Finding the right cremation in Newfoundland does not need to be difficult. Our firm dedicates all our energy and time to providing the best cremation services at an affordable price. You can rely on us for direct cremation services, arranging the traditional funeral and memorial services, as well as celebrant services.
Cremation comes with various benefits. Sometimes, it is in the best interest for the families to honour their loved one's wishes. However, for others, they want to evade all the extra costs that come with arranging for a traditional service. That means you no longer have to worry about graveside expenses, buying a casket, or even transportation costs for the deceased body. 

Therefore, through our experience over the years, we understand that each family has a need when it comes to arranging for a funeral service. Our highly trained and compassionate staff will be with you every step of the way. If it is your first time, then you no longer have to worry. We will sit down with you, and discuss everything you need to know about cremation, including what we do during the cremation process.

If you would like a visitation service before the cremation is done, we will also arrange that for you. Thus, your family and friends will be able to say a meaningful and dignified goodbye.

Why Choose Cremation?


Everyone has their own personal reasons for choosing cremation over traditional casketed burial. Given the religious, ethnic, and regional diversity among us, there are many other reasons for the dramatic rise in the number of cremations performed each year. According to Tyler Mathisen of NBC, one of those reasons "is the softening of the Catholic church's views of the practice. For centuries – until 1963, in fact – the church outlawed it. The church's laws still express a preference for burial. But the outright ban is a thing of the past."   
 
He goes on to tell readers that the decline in nuclear families is another reason. "As more Americans live far from hometowns and parents, and as family burial plots have waned in popularity and accessibility, millions have turned to cremation as a practical and cost-effective way to care for a loved one's remains."

Cremation also allows a family the flexibility they may need in planning and preparing for a memorial service, celebration-of-life, or a scattering ceremony. While the cremation process can occur almost immediately (once all the proper paperwork is complete), the decisions required in planning a meaningful memorial for a loved one can be made in a relaxed, rational way.

You can also be sure that concern for the environment ranks high among many who choose cremation services. Casketed and embalmed remains take up cemetery space and can pollute the ground water but many still question the amount of atmospheric pollution created by the cremation process. 

We are caring cremation experts who promise each family we serve the highest level of:

Courteous, professional service.
Our dedicated staff will take care of all details, including prompt filing of required permits and notifications. Accurate completion of these essential documents not only ensures their acceptance by local or state agencies; it guarantees your loved one's cremation will not be delayed.
Safekeeping and prompt return of cremated remains.
We know it's important for the families we serve to know their loved one will be coming home as soon as possible. That's why we promise to notify you as soon as their ashes become available, and safeguard their urn until the time you are ready to receive them.
A memorial service to celebrate the life of the deceased.
There are many advantages to taking some time to remember the life lived, share stories and laugh about all of the memories. Our team can help you plan a fitting memorial service with or without the cremation urn present, at our facility or in a place of your choosing.
Respectful care of the deceased and timely completion of cremation process.
Your loved one will be attended to by certified crematory operators; each of whom has been trained to provide both compassionate care for the deceased, and conscientious attention to detail throughout the cremation process.

Our Cremation Options

We offer three cremation options; each can be modified to meet your needs:

Traditional Cremation Services


These are much like a traditional funeral. The body of the deceased, placed in a specially-selected cremation casket or a rental casket, is the focal point of the service. A visitation can take place prior to the funeral service and the cycle is completed with the cremation rather than a traditional burial. 

Once the cremation has occurred, the cremated remains are returned to your family. You can then decide to scatter, bury, or retain the cremated remains in an urn.

Memorial Service After Cremation


This can occur at any time after the cremation process. The urn is usually on display at the service, which can take place in any setting preferred by the family.

A memorial service after a cremation allows loved ones to unite to honor and remember the person who passed away. It allows for closure and can be a valuable part of the grieving process. Additionally, it gives family and friends a chance to support one another during a difficult time.

Direct Cremation Services


 This involves completion of all required paperwork and the transportation of the deceased from the hospital, home, nursing facility, or coroner's office to the crematory.

Direct cremation is often more affordable than traditional funeral services, and it offers greater flexibility in terms of scheduling. It also allows for more environmentally friendly options like scattering the ashes. Additionally, it can be a more straightforward process for families who prefer a more private and low-key approach.

We Also Have An Alternative To Traditional Cremation

Aquamation

It is our belief that there is a healthier and more environmentally friendly option to traditional cremation. Over the past 7 years we have searched for an alternative and are proud to offer a gentle, respectful, eco-friendly alternative, called Aquamation. This process uses a solution of 95% water and 5% alkali. Aquamation uses the same alkalis used in common cosmetic products, body washes, shaving creams and food preparations. It is the same process that occurs as part of nature when a body is laid to rest in the soil, however a combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the natural process of tissue hydrolysis.
