Off the Mantel helps families who had someone cremated but haven't decided on permanent placement. We provide expert guidance, clear options, and professional presence so you can finally move forward.
Let's TalkMaybe it's been months. Maybe years. The urn is still on the mantel, in the closet, or tucked away in the garage. You meant to figure out what to do, but life kept moving and the decision kept postponed.
You're not alone. Most families don't realize how many options exist, or they feel overwhelmed by decisions they never expected to make. Some feel quietly guilty about not having "finished" things.
This is exactly the situation we specialize in. We're not a funeral home. We don't do cremations, embalming, or traditional funeral services. We focus entirely on what happens after: helping families create closure on their own timeline.
From understanding your options to coordinating the final details, we walk alongside you through every decision.
National cemeteries, columbaria, scattering, keepsakes, memorial gardens. We help you understand every possibility so you can make the choice that feels right.
Once you've chosen a path, we can handle the details: coordinating with cemeteries, scheduling arrangements, and preparing everything so the day goes smoothly.
When the moment arrives, you don't have to navigate it alone. We provide dignified professional presence at graveside services, scatterings, and memorial ceremonies.
We believe you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for. Choose the level of support that fits your needs.
Expert consultation to help you understand your options and create a clear plan, then carry it out on your own timeline.
We create your plan and bring it to life, handling coordination, logistics, and providing professional presence when it matters most.
Complete support for families who want professional presence throughout the day, from memorial gathering to final graveside moment.
Our most comprehensive package for families who want end-to-end support from initial consultation through final placement and beyond.
Optional vendors are available for memorial details if you want them. We can help you choose and coordinate. Veterans may qualify for placement at a national cemetery through our Earned Honor service.
Off the Mantel was founded by someone who has served thousands of families through their most difficult moments. But after years in the industry, one gap became impossible to ignore.
Cremation rates have doubled in a generation, but the support families receive hasn't kept pace. Most funeral homes focus on the cremation itself, leaving families to figure out permanent placement on their own. Many never do.
We built Off the Mantel to fill that gap. This isn't a funeral home. It's specialized expertise for the decisions that come after, the ones that often get postponed but never truly go away.
We're here to help you finish what cremation started, with dignity, clarity, and respect for your family's unique story.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation about what's possible and how we can help.
