Cremation Services
A dignified and meaningful choice
Cremation is a respectful and increasingly chosen option for families seeking flexibility, affordability, and meaningful ways to honour their loved one. At Bocchinfuso Funeral Home, we offer a range of cremation services to suit your wishes, traditions, and budget, always guided by compassion and professionalism.
What is a Cremation?
Cremation is the process of reducing the body to ashes through intense heat. Families can choose to keep the ashes in a special urn, bury them, or scatter them in a meaningful place. This flexibility allows you to create a personalized tribute, whether it’s a full funeral service, a memorial gathering, or a private family moment.
Cremation Service Options
Traditional Cremation With Service
A full funeral service is held with the body present, followed by cremation. Services may take place in our chapel, at a church, or at another location meaningful to your family, and may include music, readings, and eulogies.
Memorial Service After Cremation
This option allows families to gather after cremation has taken place. A memorial may be held in our facilities or at a location of your choice, with the urn present if desired.
Direct Cremation
A simple and affordable choice, direct cremation involves cremation without a preceding service. Families may then hold a private gathering, scattering, or memorial at a later time.
Why Families Choose Cremation
-
Flexibility – Plan a service at a time and place that best suits your family. -
Affordability – Cremation can reduce certain costs while still allowing for a dignified farewell. -
Environmental considerations – With biodegradable urns and natural memorialization options, cremation can support eco-friendly values.
Personalizing a Cremation Service
Every cremation service can be customized to reflect the individuality of your loved one. Families may choose to include:
-
Custom urns – From classic to modern designs, or biodegradable for scattering.
-
Photo and video tributes – Showcasing memories, stories, and milestones.
-
Special ceremonies – Candle-lighting, ash scattering, or cultural traditions that hold meaning.
