Honoring a loved one after cremation is a meaningful way to keep their memory alive. The Los Angeles Cremation Society offers a range of services and options that allow families to memorialize their loved ones in ways that reflect their unique lives and legacies. From scattering ashes to creating keepsakes, here are some thoughtful ways to pay tribute to those who have passed.
Scattering Ashes
One of the most common and symbolic ways to honor a loved one is through the scattering of ashes. Families often choose locations that held special meaning to the deceased, whether it’s a favorite beach, park, or another meaningful place. For those who prefer, we offer non-witness scattering at sea, providing a peaceful and serene final resting place.
Cremation Jewelry and Keepsakes
For families who wish to keep a tangible connection with their loved one, cremation jewelry and keepsakes are beautiful options. From lockets that hold a small portion of ashes to fingerprint jewelry cast in metal, these items allow you to carry your loved one with you always. Keepsakes can also be designed to incorporate ashes into glass or resin, offering a unique and personal tribute.
Memorial Services
Holding a memorial service is a powerful way to gather family and friends to celebrate the life of the deceased. We offer Cremation with Memorial Service options, allowing you to host a service where loved ones can share stories, offer support, and say their goodbyes in a meaningful setting.
Family Identification Viewing
For families who wish to see their loved one before cremation, we offer Cremation with Family Identification Viewing. This option provides a quiet, intimate opportunity to view your loved one and say a final farewell before the cremation process takes place. If you’d like a more involved experience, we also provide Cremation with Visual Identification and Witnessing, where family members can witness the placement of the cremation container or casket into the chamber.
Chapel and Graveside Services
If you’re looking for a more traditional approach, we offer Cremation with Graveside Services or Nicheside Service, which allows for a meaningful tribute at the final resting place, whether it’s a graveside burial or placement in a niche. Families can gather for prayers, reflections, or ceremonial moments as they say their final goodbyes.
Viewing and Chapel Services
Some families prefer to have a viewing or chapel service prior to cremation. Our Cremation with Decedent Present for Viewing/Chapel Service at Our Facility option allows you to hold a formal service at our chapel. This option gives family and friends the chance to gather, pay their respects, and celebrate the life of their loved one in a traditional way, with the decedent present.
Rental Caskets
For those who choose to have a viewing or service before cremation, we offer a Rental Casket Including Internal Cremation Container, which is both cost-effective and respectful. This option allows for a dignified presentation of your loved one during the service.
Keepsake Memorials
In addition to cremation jewelry, families may opt for keepsake urns or memorial plaques. These items can be placed in the home, providing a permanent tribute that keeps your loved one close. Whether displayed on a mantel or in a special memorial space, keepsakes serve as a reminder of the person’s life and legacy.
Rush Cremation
We understand that families may require expedited services. Our Rush Cremation option ensures that the cremation is performed within 24 hours of receiving the necessary health department permit, allowing for timely arrangements in line with family preferences or religious practices.
Personalized Memorialization
At the Los Angeles Cremation Society, we believe in honoring each person’s life in a way that reflects their individuality. We work closely with families to create personalized memorial experiences, whether that involves a memorial service, keepsake jewelry, or unique scattering locations. Our goal is to ensure that your loved one’s memory is preserved in a way that is meaningful and comforting to you.
Whatever your wishes, the Los Angeles Cremation Society is here to support you in creating a fitting tribute for your loved one. Whether you prefer a simple scattering at sea, a personalized keepsake, or a more formal service, our range of memorialization options allows you to honor your loved one in a way that aligns with your family’s needs and preferences.
