Cremation Services

Cremation Services

Starkson Family offers professional, distinctive, personal, and elegant services designed to help you honor your loved one in a way that is unique to them and meaningful to you.

Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation

Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a visitation and/or funeral service with your loved one in a casket. However, instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family, scattered, buried, or placed in a columbarium.

Memorial Service

The memorial service or celebration of life can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue your family chooses. We will work with your family and clergy (when applicable) to design a service that honors your loved one, truly celebrating their life. Our funeral home chapels have a piano available, as well as cameras for webcasting the service. When the service held at one of our chapels, we can help you find an accompanist and vocalist.  

Graveside Service

A graveside service is held at the cemetery.  When the memorial service is at the funeral home chapel or a church, we will typically go in procession to the cemetery, where a committal service is held. 

Permanent Memorialization

Keeping an Urn at Home

This is a common choice and families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.  A more permanent resting place may be selected later.

Placing the Urn in a Columbarium (niche)

Many families find comfort in having a final, permanent resting place they can visit. We will assist your family in selecting an urn that will fit in the niche space.

Burying the Urn

Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final, permanent resting place.  We offer several urns suitable for burial directly in the ground, but we also have urn vaults available.

Scattering the Cremated Remains

Some families find comfort scattering the cremated remains in a place that was special to their loved one.  We offer several urns suited for scattering.
