Memorial Service
The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a local Whitestown church, or any other venue your family chooses.

For families who prefer not to have clergy lead the service, we also offer trained life celebrants who create meaningful experiences that help begin the healing process.
Traditional Funeral Service Followed by Cremation
Many Whitestown families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service, even when choosing cremation. This option allows you to still have a final viewing, visitation, or wake, along with a full funeral service — but instead of in-ground burial, the service is followed by cremation. Depending on your family's wishes, the cremated remains can be returned in an urn, scattered, or placed in a columbarium. Please note this option includes fees for both the funeral service and the cremation itself.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service, though it can also stand alone as a small, intimate gathering for those closest to your loved one.
