Why Families in St. Catharines ON Choose Cremation Services

Cremation has become an increasingly popular choice for families seeking flexibility, affordability, and personalization. It offers a respectful way to honour a loved one while allowing families to plan services that reflect their wishes.

Some key reasons families choose cremation include:

  • Flexibility in planning – memorial services can be held at a later date or location.

  • Affordability – cremation often involves fewer expenses than a traditional burial.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have a funeral service if I choose cremation?

No, a funeral service is not required with cremation—it is entirely your choice. Some families choose a traditional service before cremation, while others prefer a memorial or celebration of life afterwards. You may also choose direct cremation without any formal service. At Bocchinfuso Funeral Home, we’ll help you design an option that best reflects your loved one’s wishes.


Can I still have a burial if my loved one is cremated?

Yes. Many families choose to inter cremated remains in a cemetery plot, columbarium, or memorial garden. This provides a permanent place for family and friends to visit and pay their respects. We can guide you through the available options in St. Catharines and surrounding areas.
