Funerals serve an important purpose: they allow us to recognize a life that was lived and acknowledge that the life has come to an end.
Cremation simply expedites the process of reducing a body to bone fragments through application of intense heat. What is done before or after the cremation is up to the survivors, or up to you. You can relieve the burden of these decisions by pre-planning your arrangements in advance of need so that your wishes will be honored.
When planning a funeral, one of the many decisions you will make is where your loved one's final resting place will be. Depending on whether you choose a cemetery, your home, your garden or some other location, you will need to choose an appropriate protective container. Your funeral director will match your specific needs to all available options, which may include caskets, vaults, or urns.

The worst experience ever.
We had my Aunties remains shipped to her sister in North Dakota. She is to be buried in ND with family. When they opened the box, the remains were in the shipping box, nothing else. Clear plastic bag, with metal tag. No One can never unsee something like that.
Her remains should have been in a velvet bag. How sad, my heart hurts for my mother and father in law to see that.
DEVISTATING! SAD! HEARTBREAKING!

Was surprised that no one has posted a review. So . . . Burns Mortuary of Pendleton conducted a most professional funeral for my father in California in 2015. My father died hear in Pendleton, but he was to be buried with my mother in California. Burns took care of all the arrangements and I was able to concentrate on sharing with family and friends that came to the funeral service. Thank you Burns Mortuary for your caring and professionalisim.
