Cremation in General.

When pre-planning a funeral or when arranging funeral services for a family member, various options concerning the final care of your loved one are presented. One of these options is cremation, a process used to prepare your loved one for their final disposition. Cremation is intended to be an alternative to entombment or earth burial, yet can provide your family with the same personal benefits that a traditional funeral offers.

At Charles F. Dewhirst Funeral Homes, we offer cremation services that can be personalized to your families needs. Cremation services can include a service at a church or at our chapel, a visitation or wake, entombment or earth burial of the vessel as well as a graveside service.

Whether you choose cremation or a traditional burial, The Dewhirst Family Funeral homes offer comprehensive funeral planning and management services to all of our customers. Our services include the organization and development of a customized funeral package that fits your individual needs and budget, coordination and management of funeral services, guidance in and coordination of purchasing a monument as well as the coordination of support services such as florists and mercy meals, and much more.

We understand that having information and knowing your options when it comes to the final care and disposition of your loved one is imperative.

At The Dewhirst Family Funeral Homes, our goal is to supply guidance and services that distinctly fit your needs. Our comfortable atmosphere and experienced staff offer your family a tradition in excellence.
