Our professional and caring staff makes cremations in Decatur, Texas as easy as possible under the circumstances by working with your Funeral Director. Once an authorized person from the family signs, we work with the Funeral Directors at Martin Oaks to complete the entire process from start to finish. We know that scheduling may not be convenient at this difficult time, and our staff is prepared to get a body at any time of the day or night, and that includes holidays.
Handling the Deceased -- Options
Although it’s possible, most families do not secure a casket to allow for visitation prior to the cremation. However, our cemetery services in Decatur, Texas are varied, and they give families the option of choosing to view the body before witnessing the cremation or burial. This is a solemn occasion that may bring closure for some people.
We’re all about serving your family in your time of need. We know that in some families, one person requests to be cremated after death while another requests burial. If that’s the case, our staff can put your loved one’s ashes in the family plot alongside a relative who was buried.
Planning the Memorial
Many families choose to have a memorial service at a future time after the body has been cremated. We can help you plan the service. If you want photos, video and/or music, we can “produce” the ceremony, which honors your loved one, if that is your desire. If your family chooses not to bury the ashes, and if no one in the family chooses to take them home, you may leave the ashes in a permanent urn on our property in a niche surrounded by a tranquil garden.
