URQUHART CRENSHAW FUNERAL AND CREMATION Family
Visitation services, also known as view- ings, wakes, or calling hours, allow family and friends to gather in the presence of the departed. Whether the casket is open or closed, this time serves as an opportunity for attendees to pay their respects, support the bereaved, and begin the process of say- ing goodbye. Meanwhile, funeral or me- morial services can take place in various settings, including a funeral home, church, or even a family residence. These ceremo- nies celebrate, honor, and reflect on the life of the deceased, and can be personalized to highlight their unique attributes and ac- complishments. Graveside, chapel, or committal services provide another layer of intimacy, taking place at the cemetery where family and friends can witness the final transfer of their loved one. Each of these options is crafted to meet the family's desires, ensur- ing a respectful and heartfelt farewell. Cremation services at Urquhart & Cren- shaw dispel the myth that such choices preclude the possibility of a memorial service. In fact, they encourage families to hold a ceremony that celebrates the life of the deceased, with various options for the
final disposition of the cremated remains. Interment offers a way to lay the remains to rest in a family plot, memorial site, or cremation niche. Graveside ser- vices for cremated remains can emulate traditional burials, featuring meaningful tributes and prayers. For those opting for scattering, Urquhart & Cren- shaw provides guidance on choosing meaningful lo- cations, whether in a memorial garden, over water, or at another cherished site. Families can choose to retain some of the remains in an urn, allowing for both a scattering and a permanent memorial. Ad- ditionally, having multiple urns ensures that family members separated by distance can each hold a part of their loved one close. Emphasizing sustainability, Urquhart & Cren- shaw also offers green burial services, aligning with eco-friendly values. This option minimizes environ- mental impact and can be particularly meaningful for individuals who cherished nature or lived a life committed to environmental stewardship.
