Direct Cremations

 A Direct Cremation provides an affordable alternative to a traditional full service funeral for people who do not want to have a formal traditional funeral. It’s a contemporary choice, it offers a respectful funeral in a simple fuss-free way, but with the same level of dignity and respect.

 

When your loved one passes away, they will be brought into our care at Alder Forest Funeral Home. Cremation takes place shortly after on a date, time, and location chosen by us. Without mourners, your loved one will be taken to the crematorium in a hearse.
