About cremation
If your family has chosen cremation, we offer affordable services that help celebrate the life of your loved one while giving you several options for a public gathering, and a final resting place.
Cremation services
At Undertaking Alternatives we only work with the best and most reputable local crematory, Mount Pleasant Crematory.
Cremation with funeral service
Many families still would like to have meaning and beauty of a traditional funeral service. With our cremation service you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. 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 for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include the services and cremation process in the overall pricing.
Memorial service
The memorial service offers a chance for everyone to share memories, find comfort, and celebrate the life of their loved one in a meaningful way. The service often includes readings, music, and personal reflections shared by loved ones. Unlike a traditional funeral, the body is not present at the memorial, though the urn with the cremated remains may be displayed.
Graveside services
When a family has made the choice to inter a loved one after cremation they have the options to be buried in a chosen plot or placed in a special structure called a columbarium or niche. The family and friends may gather for a brief ceremony at the cemetery, where prayers or words of remembrance can be shared. The urn is then gently placed into the ground or niche, and some may choose to place flowers or tokens of remembrance at the site. This process allows loved ones to have a permanent and peaceful place to visit.
