Cremation Services

Cremation Service Options

If your family has chosen cremation, we offer affordable services that help celebrate the life of your loved one while giving you several options for a public gathering, and a final resting place. At Huff & Lakjer Funeral Home we understand how important trust, dignity, and peace of mind are when caring for your loved one. That is why we offer a private, on-site crematory, ensuring your loved one never leaves our care throughout the entire cremation process. From the moment they are entrusted to us until the return of their cremated remains, every step is handled by our compassionate and licensed staff with the utmost respect and attention to detail. Having an on-site crematory allows us to provide families with added security, transparency, and personalized care during a difficult time.

Traditional Funeral Followed by Cremation

Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation, or wake, and a funeral service. However, instead of an in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option includes fees for the funeral services and the cremation itself.

Memorial Service

The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants who lead services when clergy is not chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.

Graveside Service

Graveside services following cremation offer a meaningful way to honor your loved one with a final act of remembrance. This intimate gathering at the burial site of the urn provides a quiet moment for family and friends to reflect, share memories, and say goodbye in a peaceful setting. Whether simple or ceremonial, it’s a heartfelt way to bring closure and lay your loved one to rest with dignity.
