What We Do

The Post-Cremation Conversation

The funeral home or crematory handles what's urgent: caring for the physical body of a recently deceased person. Once the casket is buried or the urn is in your hands, their work is complete.

A new question remains. One that isn't urgent, but matters: where should your loved one's ashes rest permanently?

That's the conversation we have.

Not about what's required. About what's meaningful. What options exist? What fits this person, this family, this situation? Most people don't realize how many possibilities there are.

This conversation takes time. It deserves attention. And it's exactly what we're here for.

We explain your options, answer your questions, and help you find a permanent place that feels right. Whenever you're ready.

Permanent Placement

The most fundamental question after cremation: where will the ashes be kept permanently? The answer isn't one-size-fits-all, and it doesn't have to be decided immediately. But it should be decided eventually.

"Permanent placement" simply means choosing a permanent place, somewhere intentional, meaningful, and lasting. For some families, that's a cemetery. For others, it's scattering ashes in a place that mattered. For others still, it's keeping ashes at home in a vessel that honors the life it represents.

There's no wrong answer. But there are more answers than most people realize.

We don't sell cemetery plots or take commissions from cemeteries for your placement decision. We help you understand what's available, what's involved, and what might be the right fit for your family.

Memorial Options

A memorial tells the story of the person you are honoring. It's how the world remembers them, and how you create a place to return to, reflect, and feel connected.

Memorialization can be as traditional as a granite headstone or as personal as a bench in their favorite park. Some families want permanence; others want something living that grows and changes. We help you explore what feels right.

Markers & Headstones

Granite, bronze, or marble markers with custom inscriptions, emblems, and designs.

Benches & Trees

Living memorials in parks, gardens, or nature preserves. Places to sit and remember.

Plaques & Dedications

Recognition at churches, schools, theaters, or organizations that mattered to them.

Memorial Art

Commissioned paintings, sculptures, or glass art that captures their spirit.

Digital Memorials

Online tributes, memorial websites, and QR-linked markers connecting to photos and stories.

Memorial Jewelry

Wearable keepsakes: pendants, rings, and bracelets to keep them close.

Veteran Services

Veterans earned burial benefits through their service. Every eligible veteran is entitled to placement at a VA national cemetery with full military honors, at no cost to the family.

But accessing those benefits isn't always simple. The VA has specific requirements, paperwork, and timelines. Coordinating with the cemetery, arranging military honors, and navigating the process while grieving can feel overwhelming.

That's why we created Earned Honor: a dedicated service to help families claim what their veteran deserves. We handle the coordination, the scheduling, the paperwork. We're there on the day of the service. From start to finish.

Urns & Keepsakes

Most families receive cremated ashes in a basic container from the crematory. Functional, but hardly fitting. The vessel that holds the ashes should be as meaningful as the life it represents.

Biodegradable Urns

Eco-friendly options designed for burial or water scattering. Returning naturally to the earth.

Custom & Handcrafted

One-of-a-kind pieces from artisans. Reflecting personality, hobbies, passions, or meaningful themes.

Keepsake Urns

Smaller vessels for dividing ashes among family members so everyone can keep a portion.

Memorial Jewelry

Pendants, rings, and bracelets containing a small portion of ashes. Worn close to the heart.

Memorial Glass

Hand-blown glass orbs, paperweights, and sculptures with cremated ashes artfully incorporated.

Beyond Traditional

Here's what most people don't know: cremated ashes can become almost anything. The options are limited only by imagination, and most families have no idea these possibilities exist.
