Cremation Options

A Fitting Cremation — Always in Our Care

Schramka Funeral Home - Cremation Options

We offer several cremation options, and each can be personalized to meet your needs:

  • Traditional cremation services. This is much like a traditional funeral. The body of the deceased is placed in a specially-selected cremation casket or rental casket, and is the focal point of the service. A visitation may take place prior to the funeral service, and the cycle is completed with the cremation rather than a traditional graveside burial. Once the cremation has occurred, the remains are returned to the family. One can then decide to scatter, bury or retain the cremated remains in an urn or other keepsake.
  • Memorial gathering after the cremation. This can occur at any time after the cremation. The urn is usually on display at the service, which can take place in any setting preselected by the deceased or preferred by the family. This gives family and friends ample time to prepare and attend.  
  • Direct or simple cremation. This involves completion of all required paperwork and the transportation of the deceased from the hospital, family residence, nursing facility or coroner's office to the crematory. 

Kind Professional Service

We are cremation professionals who extend the highest level of care and attention to families:
  • Kind, courteous service. Our dedicated staff will take care of all details, including prompt filing of required permits and notifications. 
  • Respectful care of the deceased and timely completion. Your loved one will be attended to by certified crematory personnel, each of whom has been trained to provide compassionate care and conscientious attention to detail.
  • Safekeeping and prompt return of cremated remains. It's important for families to know their loved one will be coming home as soon as possible. We will promptly notify you when the ashes are available, and safeguard the urn until you are ready to receive it.
  • A memorial service to Celebrate the Life. There are advantages to taking some time to remember the life lived, share stories, laugh and cry over all of the memories. We can help you plan a memorial service, with or without the cremation urn present, at our facility or in a place of your choosing.
