What’s Better a Direct Cremation or a Traditional Cremation with a Service? 

Nether is better than the other. What really matters is what’s best for you and yours. Some families are more private and prefer to have a simple cremation followed by a small gathering in a private residence. But other families prefer to have a cremation with a ceremony.

Can I Prepay for my Final Service?

One thing to keep in mind is that prepaying means saving money since the funeral home will be contractually obligated to honour the sale agreement.
