Cremation with Family Identification Package
There are occurrences when the immediate family has not been given the opportunity to say good bye and request an occasion to physically do so. Fond Remembrance we can provide for that opportunity, simply and privately, by scheduling a time for immediate family to gather at the crematorium. A small fee is charged to accommodate the request and the crematorium allows approximately 30 minutes, and up to 5 people. There are no cosmetic improvements made to the body and remains as natural as when the event occurred. As with all of our cremation packages, we provide this service for minimal cost which 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.
