Our goal is to make the cremation process as clear and stress-free as possible. Here’s how it works:

  1. Make Arrangements Online or Over the Phone
     Begin whenever you're ready — day or night — from the comfort of your home.
  2. We Handle Everything Required
     Once paperwork is complete, we bring your loved one into our care, manage all legal permits, and oversee a licensed private cremation.
  3. We Personally Return Your Loved One to You
     When cremation is complete, we hand-deliver the cremated remains to your home in a high-quality wooden urn. You never have to drive to a facility or wait for something in the mail.

      Our compassionate team is available 24/7 to guide you through the process, answer questions, and keep you at your pace.


Columbus families appreciate our respectful, efficient process — especially those who prefer to keep things simple but meaningful.

  • Transportation into our care (within 100 miles)

  • Included wooden urn — not a cardboard container

  • Hand-delivery of cremated remains back to your home
