“Cremations R Us” by Sabbath

Since its inception, in 1992, Walter E. Sabbath, Jr. Funeral Service has paid special attention to families and individuals that choose cremation as a part of final disposition planning. When we entered the funeral service arena, cremation was frowned upon for many reasons. It was seen as not caring, or being against religious beliefs by many or the choice only as a last resort. However, because of increased popularity, greater dignity has been given to the choice of cremation. Now those choosing cremation, are seen as environmentally friendly or preserving a financial legacy for survivors.

With that as a backdrop, we know that now is the time for Walter E. Sabbath, Jr. Funeral Service to establish ourselves as cremation experts. So, we are introducing “Cremations R Us,” the component of our business that will focus on cremation services. In over twenty-six years, we have developed final service options that meet the needs of a diverse clientele. Our Cremations R Us selections range from the Farewell Direct with no viewing and no service to the Final Glimpse with a private viewing just before the cremation to a Full Funeral Service, at any location, followed by cremation.

We invite you to consider the selections and determine which one will meet your needs. We also offer urns that appeal to varied tastes. Visit our Urn Store to choose the urn that is right for you. Our list of cremation arrangements says, “We Care.”

CREMATIONS R Us SERVICES

We know that the needs of families are the same whether they choose burial or cremation. To that end, we have designed arrangements followed by cremation to suit a variety of needs. All arrangements include the return of the cremains or “ashes” to the family. Urns are not included in the arrangements and can be purchased separately. Scattering of cremains can be arranged by us for an additional fee.

SELECTION A: FAREWELL DIRECT

This arrangement type is designed for families that do not want to view the remains of their loved one. Also, they do not want a funeral service or memorial service that will require our presence. The price includes our professional service charge, the fee to remove the body from the place of death to the funeral home for inspection, the fee for the removal to the crematory, and the cost of the cremation.

We encourage family members to gather at the home, nursing home, hospital or other places of death to say their final good-byes to their loved one. We will make the removal as soon as the family is ready.
