About Cremation
Elmlawn provides complete cremation services. At Elmlawn, we offer a range of options for those who choose cremation from traditional ground burial or elegant but affordable above-ground burial. We even offer options for a couple to consider when one person chooses cremation and the other does not.
Elmlawn's Family Service Counselors will be happy to provide brochures to help answer questions you might have regarding cremation and the disposition of the cremated body. To order brochures Free of Charge or to set up an appointment to discuss cremation, contact us.
Code of Cremation Practice
In the practice of cremation, we believe:
- In dignity and respect in the care of Human Remains, in compassion for the living who survive them and in the memorialization of the dead;
- That a Cremation Authority should be responsible for creating and maintaining an atmosphere of respect at all times;
- That the greatest care should be taken in the appointment of crematory staff members, any of whom must not by conduct or demeanor bring the crematory or cremation into disrepute;
- That cremation should be considered as preparation for memorialization;
- That the dead of our human society should be memorialized through a commemorative means suitable to the survivors.
- Cremation Association of America Co.
