Cremation Services
Cremation Options
For many families, cremation is a dignified and respectful way to remember and honor loved ones that have passed away. Once in our care, your loved one is our highest priority and will remain with us throughout the entire process, as we own and operate our own crematory.
Cremation Services
For cremation services, we strongly encourage you to hold a memorial service to honor your loved one’s life. After the cremation and services, there are several options for your loved one’s final disposition:
- Interment is when you bury or entomb your loved one's cremated remains. This can be in a family plot, memorial site, cremation niche or urn garden, or other indoor and outdoor locations. Please reach out to our staff for a detailed list of interment options.
- Graveside cremation services are similar to traditional ground burials, as everyone is at the burial of the cremated remains and honor your loved one through other meaningful tributes.
- Scattering is when you spread your loved one's cremated remains in a memorial garden, cemetery, over water, or another significant location. You also can choose to scatter some of the cremated remains and retain the rest in an urn for interment or another form of disposition.
- By placing cremated remains in multiple urns, family members who live in different locations can each have their loved one's final resting place close to them.
At the Cremation Society of Toledo, we operate our own modern crematory and abide strictly with all local and state regulations. Your loved one is transferred by our caring team to our safe and secure, temperature-controlled facility, and then never leaves our care. We use a state-of-the-art tracking system for your additional peace of mind." under the obits on the homepage before the "Our New Tribute Center"
Chapel Service
When there is no viewing and funeral service involved, next is the cremation and the ashes will either be scattered, returned to the family or buried in a family cemetery.
Memorial Service
The funeral service can be held in a church or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants that lead services where clergy may not be chosen.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service but it can also be a small intimate gathering of those closest to you.
Home Funeral Services
This is a wonderful way to honor your loved one where they likely felt most comfortable, at home. Let us help you arrange a cremation service inside your loved one's home.
