The importance of celebrating a life lived may still be experienced through a funeral or memorial service even though cremation is your choice for final disposition. You may still have all the options available to you for gatherings, memorialization and final disposition. Cremation allows you to arrange any type of ceremony that is meaningful to you, with cremation before or after the ceremony.

Many people select a traditional visitation and funeral service, with cremation to follow. Or you can select a cremation followed by a memorial service. This service is a gathering, which differs from a funeral only in that the body is not present. The cremated remains may or may not be present in an urn.

You may select cremation only. This entails simply meeting with us to arrange the details. However, we hope you consider the benefit of some type of formal or informal service, for the support it can bring to friends and family, as well as the closure it helps to provide.

A memorial tribute service can be elaborate or simple, and it can be traditional or non-traditional. Today, arrangements are as individual as the persons for whom they are made. A ceremony may be personalized to reflect the life of the deceased and have special meaning for those present.

Regardless of your choice of services, or even if you choose not to have a viewing, you will need to select a cremation container and urn. Urn selection today is very broad, offering you the opportunity to choose one that reflects your personal tastes. For the nontraditionalist, there are even urns that depict hobbies like golfing or fishing. For an extra touch, many urns can be engraved with meaningful themes such as golfing or fishing, or the name of the person who has died. When selecting an urn, think in terms of three types of urn: Permanent Urns for interment in a ground space, niche, or cremation memorial; Decorative Urns for a special place in your home; or a scattering urn for a dignified scattering of cremated remains.

An important decision is that you do not want to overlook is the memorialization of your loved ones cremated remains. Lohman Funeral Homes, Cemeteries and Cremation offer numerous options for permanent placement of cremated remains. You may select a niche, a single burial site, the cremation garden or family garden estate. You may prefer a granite monument to pay tribute to your loved one forever, or bronze memorial marker. Whatever your decision, you will have created a lasting memorial that will serve as a focal point not only for present-day survivors, but also future generations.
