Absolutely, we offer affordable direct cremation for Durham families who prefer a simple, dignified option without a formal service. You may choose to hold a memorial or celebration of life at a later date if you wish. Our staff will explain what is included and help you decide if direct cremation is the best fit for your family.
What is the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?
A funeral service usually takes place with the body present, either in a casket or cremation container, and may be followed by burial or cremation. A memorial service is held after burial or cremation and focuses on remembrance through stories, photos, and tributes. For Durham families, either option can be held at our chapel, a place of worship, or another meaningful location. We will help you choose the format that feels right for your family.
