Custom Touches for Uniquely Designed Funeral Home and Cremations in Kansas City, MO

Kansas City, MO Funeral Home And CremationsThis personal loss to you and others who are close to the departed will never truly stop hurting. However, grief counselors and experts widely agree that how the final arrangements are made can have a lasting impact on your healing journey after loss. With that in mind, the services must be designed to honor your loved one and support those bereaved in the wake of this difficult parting.

 

One format that is frequently chosen to honor a loved one who has passed is a funeral service. There is so much room for custom elements to be shared within a funeral service. Favorite music, colors, or even hobbies could be woven into the services in natural ways. Funerals are an opportunity to remember the life that has been lived. Those who are grieving also shore each other up and comfort one another through this painful time. Final goodbyes are said, and reality settles in.

 

One way to prepare deceased remains is via cremation. The process of cremation shifts the intact body of the deceased to its most basic elemental form. This is handled through a respectful and secure burning process. The final remains are in the form of granular ashes. The bulk of these remains are tiny fragments of bone pieces that did not fully burn. These cremated remains are securely returned to the next of kin at an agreed-upon time, most often in a funeral urn of some type.

 

There are several beneficial reasons that cremation may be chosen. If the family needs more time to plan services or gather, a cremation will effectively care for the time-sensitive needs of the deceased’s disposition. Memorial or life celebration services can then be designed and scheduled for a later date. Cremations also afford a level of flexibility with where the remains can be laid to rest. They could be kept close to surviving loved ones in a displayable urn. Cremated remains can also be buried or scattered.

 

Depending on the services that are selected, you will likely need to purchase some merchandise that will assist in the process of the chosen final arrangements. We have a nice range of applicable products in a variety of price points. Caskets for burial or rental (needed for those choosing cremation following a funeral), burial vaults, mausoleum crypts, or urns, cremation niches, and keepsakes could all be part of our conversations with you. Please be upfront about your budgetary needs, and we can help you find the perfect solutions.

 

As an exclusive option for our clients, we have custom hearses that can be chosen for your departed loved one’s last ride. Choose from a horse-drawn hearse, a 1932 hearse, or a new Cadillac. We love to offer these beautiful funeral vehicles to carry your loved ones to their final destination after funeral home and cremations in Kansas City, MO.

 

Special Circumstances Need a Trusted Hand to Guide the Process
