Cremation
Cremation dates back to ancient times and is a common form of final disposition
among a great many people. If you are considering cremation, you need to know
about the many options available to you through Jakubs & Son Funeral Home.
When making cremation arrangements, keep in mind, you have unlimited options for
memorialization. The most important thing is to create a farewell event that is
meaningful and satisfying to you and others who will participate. Remember, there
is no "standard" cremation arrangement. We have the experience to assist
you in developing a customized cremation service that is "just right"
for you and your family.
Variety of Options/Services
Many people believe that choosing cremation means limiting your options.
This is not the case. There is a wide variety of services and merchandise available
to you. Most families choose to hold services, which help the bereaved cope with
the loss of a loved one. Services or ceremonies can precede or follow the actual
cremation. Prior to cremation there may be a gathering, which may be either public
or private, with an open or closed casket. When the service follows the cremation,
a receptacle (or urn) containing the cremated remains may take a place of prominence.
Following the ceremony, the final disposition of the cremated remains takes place.
Cremation offers families choices for final disposition of the cremated remains,
and with cremation, you have the opportunity to select from a wide array of caskets,
urns and keepsake memorials.
Pre-Need
The term "Pre-Need" is used to describe the process, which allows
a person to plan their service before they actually need it. This is a safe and
very compassionate way to plan your service and save those you love from the decision-making
process after your death. For more detailed information, please browse our special
Pre-Need Information Page.
