Cremation Services
If your family has chosen cremation, we offer affordable services that help celebrate the life of your loved one. Serving Belton, TX, and nearby areas like Temple, Morgan's Point Resort, Salado, Nolanville, Harker Heights, Killeen, Troy, and Jarrell, TX, we provide several options for public gatherings and final resting places. You can arrange a traditional funeral with cremation services, complete with a viewing and visitation, before the cremation takes place. This option allows family and friends to gather and say their final goodbyes in a familiar setting. Alternatively, a memorial can be held after the cremation services, which can be designed to uniquely honor your loved one through stories, music, or scripture in our chapel or another venue of your choice.
We also guide you through the various options for a final resting place. Our permanent memorialization choices cater to different wishes and traditions. Many families find comfort in keeping the cremated remains at home in a specially selected urn. For those who prefer a dedicated place to visit, we offer interment in
a columbarium niche or a traditional in-ground burial of the urn. Another heartfelt option is scattering the ashes in a location that held special significance for your loved one. Our compassionate team is here to support you in creating a personal and lasting memorial.

Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation
Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the ashes may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation services.
Memorial Service
The funeral service can be held in our chapel, 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. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
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.
Permanent Memorialization
Keeping an Urn at Home
This is a common choice and families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.
Placing the Urn in a Columbarium (aka, a “niche”)
Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.
Burying the Urn
Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place.
