We create meaningful gatherings that bring comfort, connection, and remembrance during life’s most important moments.
Choosing cremation is a smart environmental choice. It requires no harmful chemicals or plastics such as those used in the embalming process. Cremation is also less wasteful since no casket or space in the ground is required. And unlike a burial, cremation does not require constant grounds maintenance.
These services help families choose cremation options, plan memorials, and add small personal touches to the ceremony to honor their loved ones. Taking care of these details ahead of time eases stress and lets families focus on remembering and celebrating the life of the person they lost. Planning makes sure every part of the service is handled with care, letting loved ones be fully present, share stories, offer comfort, and create lasting memories without worrying about the details.
We are devoted to guiding families through one of life’s most difficult moments with compassion, dignity, and care. With years of trusted experience, we’re here to provide heartfelt support, seamless arrangements.

Cremation is the process of reducing the human body to bone particles and ash through the application of intense heat.
An urn is a container in which cremated remains are permanently held. Choices range from a simple box to a wide selection of decorative metal, wood, ceramic or glass containers.
One of the ways we keep our services affordable is by allowing more flexibility in scheduling. From the time you first alert us, you should allow about two weeks for us to complete the process. We will contact you when your urn is available for pickup. Or if you prefer, we can mail it to you. If you need faster delivery, the process can be accelerated for a slight fee. Please call us for details.
Death certificates are handled by the county. It usually takes about 14 days after the paperwork is submitted to the county for death certificates to be mailed.
Yes. It is not a memorial service, but an opportunity for family and close friends to say a final goodbye. This may last up to fifteen minutes and can accommodate up to five people.
Lucy's staff follows strict guidelines. All identification is carefully checked when removal is made from the place of death. This process is witnessed by an employee of the hospital, nursing home, medical examiner’s office or a family member present at the home or place of removal.An identification band is attached around the ankle of the deceased. Before leaving, each person checks all existing paperwork and the identification tag.At the crematory, a stainless steel identification disc is assigned and placed with the body at the actual time of cremation. The disc stays with your loved one throughout the cremation process. After the cremation is completed, the identification disc is placed in the urn with the cremated remains.
Any special mementos, such as jewelry, will be destroyed during the cremation process. Anything you wish to keep should be removed before your loved one is transferred into our care. Other metals, such as prosthesis, are removed and recycled after the cremation is complete.
It is essential that pacemakers and other medical devices are removed before cremation. It’s also important to notify us of any other implanted medical devices. The device may rupture when subjected to high temperature, which can be hazardous to crematory staff and equipment.
For many people, a memorial service is often a celebration of life, and it can take place with or without the cremated remains present. Many families who select cremation find they have more options and flexibility when it comes to service offerings.
You have many choices. The cremated remains can be buried in a cemetery, kept at home, scattered on private property, or scattered at sea at least 3 miles offshore. For those who want to scatter ashes, but who don’t have either the means or location preference, you can select a mantle or table in your home. Decorative Urns can add beauty to any room.
