Understanding Cremation Services

At Seland Funeral Home and Cremation Service, we understand that every individual's journey through life is unique and deserves to be honored in a meaningful way. For families who have chosen cremation, we offer a range of affordable services designed to celebrate the life of your loved one while providing you with options for a final gathering and resting place that reflects their personality and wishes.

Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation

Many families find comfort and beauty in the tradition of a funeral service. With our traditional service combined with cremation option, you can still opt for a final viewing, visitation, or wake, followed by a funeral service. Instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. You have the flexibility to choose what happens next with the cremated remains – whether they're returned to your family for storage in a chosen urn, scattered in a meaningful location, or interred in a columbarium. This option encompasses fees for both the funeral services and the cremation process.

Memorial Service

A memorial service is a chance to honor your loved one in a way that reflects their life and legacy. Whether held in our chapel, a church, or another chosen venue, our team works closely with your family to create a personalized service. We offer options such as storytelling, music, or scripture readings. For those who prefer a non-religious approach, our trained life celebrants lead services that focus on celebrating life and beginning the healing process.

Graveside Service

A graveside or committal service provides an intimate opportunity for final farewells. It can follow a traditional funeral service or be a small gathering of those closest to the departed. This simple yet meaningful ritual allows for reflection and closure as loved ones gather to say their last goodbyes.



Permanent Memorialization

We understand the importance of having a place to honor and remember your loved one for years to come. We offer several options for permanent memorialization:



Keeping an Urn at Home:

Many families choose to keep the urn containing their loved one's ashes at home, providing a tangible connection and a place for quiet remembrance.

Placing the Urn in a Columbarium:

For those seeking a dedicated resting place, our columbarium provides a serene setting for urns, allowing families to visit and pay their respects in a tranquil environment.



Burying the Urn:

Similar to traditional burial, the in-ground burial of the urn offers a physical location for remembrance, providing a sense of closure and continuity.



Scattering of the Cremated Remains:

Some families find comfort in scattering the cremated remains in a location that held significance for their loved one, allowing their spirit to become part of the natural world they cherished.
