We are committed to you and your personal preferences as we work together to design funeral or cremation services for you and your loved ones.

Cremation: Cremation is chosen for a variety of reasons. Some people choose this option on environmental considerations, others for philosophical or religious reasons. Some feel it is simpler and less complicated. Whatever the reason may be, MacAlpine Funeral Home is here to help you with any questions you may have regarding cremation.

There are many options available for cremation. Many families hold a service, which helps the bereaved cope with the loss of a family member or loved one. The greatest misunderstanding about cremation is that there is no need for a funeral service. However, a memorial ceremony is an important step in helping the bereaved overcome their grief and gives family and friends the opportunity to honor their loved one.

Memorial Service: Services similar to the Traditional service option but with reduced involvement from staff and ass it ants, a change in the use of the visitation suite and lounge, and without embalmer or alternate care.
