If you’re considering cremation services in Holly Hill, SC but don’t want to lose the personal touch of a funeral home, we’re here to help. At Avinger Funeral Home, our cremation program is designed to keep the families as involved at every stage as they wish. In this article, we’ll take you through the process and show you how we’re building a better, more personally oriented cremation program to serve our families.

The First Meeting

When you handle cremation services through a funeral home, you’ll have a personal point of entry thanks to our compassionate and knowledgeable funeral director. We’ll take custody of the body and handle all important paperwork when we get your call, and we’re happy to explain all levels of the process to you. Our cremation process isn’t an industrial process, it’s a full program designed to give your loved one a fitting goodbye and a beautiful memorial for the family.

Before Cremation

We know death can come in a hurry, and we want to make the process of saying goodbye to your loved one as peaceful as possible. That’s why our packages offer visitation options, just like our funeral packages. You can select a private or semi-public viewing for close friends and family at our facilities before the cremation. We also offer memorial services scheduled before the cremation, with the option for having the body on display in a rental casket.

Better Security and Oversight

We get many questions from our families about how they can be sure that they’re getting their loved one’s ashes back. That’s why we take security very seriously, keeping track of remains using a foolproof system that involves several checks and fireproof tags that won’t break down in the cremator. If you have any questions about our worry-free system, ask our staff before cremation and we’ll walk you through it.

Memorial Planning

Cremation services are no longer an alternative to funeral planning, but work alongside it to give our families who choose cremation full access to our facilities and memorial services. We’ll work with you from your first meeting to develop a celebration of life that speaks to your loved one’s life and passions. We have memorial packages for every budget, along with a basic cremation package ideal for those who want to plan an independent memorial.

Coordination With Outside Vendors

Do you want to do something creative with your loved one’s ashes, like turning them into ink, paint, or even tattoo ink? How about incorporating them into fireworks to send them off with a dazzling display at the end of the memorial? This is possible with the help of third-party companies that specialize in transforming cremation ashes, and we can put you in contact with them for planning after the cremation.
