Cremation with Committal Package
If burial in a cemetery or placement of the urn in a columbarium niche, mausoleum, or ossuary is requested, Fond Remembrance can arrange for and direct the ceremony or tribute. As with all of our cremation packages, these services can be arranged within the convenience of your own home, and in your own time, without the necessity of a trip to a funeral home, or the pressure of a sales counselor. All paperwork is completed electronically and over the telephone, or via an in-house conference.
