cremation options
Cremation
Cremation is a growing choice in our country and one that is widely accepted within many religions. When a body is cremated with our cremation services, it is reduced to its natural elements quickly and without chemicals. A variety of disposition options are available for those who choose cremation, including ground burial, cremation benches, urns, cremation niches, columbariums, and scattering options. We also offer pre-planned cremation services that can help bring peace of mind.
Superstition Cremation and Funeral Services
operates our own crematory inside our facility. Your loved one never leaves our care during the entire process.
Traditional Funeral Service 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 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 will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with 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 that lead services where clergy may not be 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.
Direct Cremation
Direct cremation involves the transportation of the deceased from the home, hospital, nursing facility, or coroner's office to our crematory facilities. It also includes the completion of all required paperwork. There are no formal memorial services and your loved one’s ashes are promptly returned to the family.

Why Choose an In-House Crematory
When it comes to cremation, not all companies are created equal. Often, a business or society that provides cremations does not actually own crematory equipment. Such businesses are known as storefront crematories. One reason a self-owned crematorium is preferable is price – storefront crematories must send out the body, pay a crematorium, and charge enough money to make their own profit – costs that get passed on to the customer. Most often in these cases, the body is sent to a large funeral home or a cremation society, organizations with high overhead and large volume. This is both a costly and unsettling scenario for the customer – they have no way to guarantee how their loved one is treated, or even that the ashes that come back belong to the right person. At an in-house crematorium like Superstition Cremation and Funeral Services, customers get to meet and talk with the people who do the cremation. You have the comfort of knowing that your loved one never leaves the premises, and that everything will be handled properly and ethically. That's why it’s important to use a cremation company that has its own crematorium. Not only will it give you peace of mind, but it will save you money.
