How Cremation Works: A Simple Process for Gahanna Families

The loss of a loved one is hard enough — the cremation process shouldn’t be. That’s why we’ve created a simple, efficient system that families can complete from the comfort of home.


Here’s how it works:

  1. Make Arrangements Online or by Phone
    Start the process anytime — our team is available 24/7 and our online system makes things fast and simple
  2. We Handle Everything
    Once paperwork is signed, we bring your loved one into our care, complete all necessary permits, and oversee the private cremation.
  3. We Personally Return Your Loved One
    After cremation, we hand-deliver the remains to your home in a beautiful included wooden urn — not a cardboard container and never through the mail.
  4. Ongoing Support from Our Team
    Our care team is available throughout the process to answer questions, provide updates, and guide you every step of the way.


Families in Gahanna love that we don’t require in-person meetings and keep everything simple and transparent.
