Memorial Pines Crematory
Memorial Pines Cemetery provides you with a state-of-the-art crematory, including a family viewing room where relatives can view the cremation casket upon entrance and exit to insure the cremains (cremated remains) are those of their loved one.
This dramatic change in the way families are handling their beloved deceased has been prompted partly because cremation can be more economical than interment, but mainly because of the increasing mobility and fragmentation of families. Cremation makes it easier for a widely scattered family to transport remains across the country and to schedule later memorial services. After services, ashes can easily be memorialized wherever a family happens to be living.
Cremations have jumped in the United States from being used in less than 10 percent of deaths in 1980 to about 27 percent this year - and that's likely to reach 45 percent by 2010, according to projections by the Cremation Association of North America.
Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon and Washington lead the trend and are expected to have cremation rates of 55 percent to 65 percent this year, according to the Cremation Association.
Until recent decades, Christian leaders condemned cremation as a rejection of their faith in resurrection. But as cremation has become more commonplace, most denominations have been forced to accept the practice.
The 1-billion member Catholic Church dropped its ban on cremation in 1961, but it wasn't until three years ago that Catholic leaders in the United States finally allowed members to bring ashes into a church for funeral masses.
After cremation, you and your family can do whatever makes you feel comfortable with the ashes. Many families prefer to honor their loved one with a permanent memorial in a garden setting where they may visit and reflect. Memorial Pines Cemetery offers a variety of choices including lawn niches, wall niches and mausoleum niches inside and outside. In addition, we also offer semi-private and private gated family estate gardens
