CREMATION
Our Cremation with Confidence™ Guarantee brochure outlines our 10-step cremation process that ensures your loved one's cremation is handled according to only the highest professional standards. In addition, you can rest assured that our crematory is located in our facility. While many funeral homes utilize third party crematories, at McCrery & Harra Funeral Homes and Crematory, your loved one is always under the care of our licensed funeral directors, who are also certified crematory technicians, and personally supervise every detail of the cremation process.

Several choices should be considered when a family desires cremation; these choices determine the type of service it will be:
- The gathering - where family and friends come together either at one of our locations, church or another setting.
- Time of cremation - will cremation occur before or after the service?
- Memorialization - what will the final disposition of the cremated remains be? Interment or entombment, placement in a memorial garden, scattering, permanent possession or a combination.

CELEBRANT Services
Many families choose a non-traditional, humanistic service. This is an alternative to a religious service and focuses on the life your loved one. We employ a certified funeral celebrant who meets with the family to discuss eulogies, readings, music, poems, and other features that can be incorporated into the service to make it a meaningful celebration of life. After the service, the family receives a presentation keepsake binder containing the order of service, eulogy , and other readings.
Many humanistic services incorporate items from our remembrance service selections.
GREEN Burial
There are many different types of Green Burial options. Click here for a Green Ideas brochure with more information.
PREPLANNING
Preparing For Death Is A Gift To The Living.
Pre-arranging your funeral is a considerate, compassionate gift to your loved ones. It relieves them from the burden of having to make many choices at an emotionally difficult time. While preplanning is a thoughtful gesture, it is also practical. Pre-planning enables you to:
- Have peace of mind
- Establish your personal wishes ahead of time
- Free loved ones from making those decisions
- Select easy payment options that lock in costs at today’s price
If you simply wish to make your choices known in advance and have them on file, we would be happy to help you with this at no charge. And if you choose to prepay your service through one of our guaranteed and insured financing plans, you protect your family further… from unexpected expenses. Contact Anne Rowan for further information on pre-planning and you can be confident your final wishes will be fulfilled.
PET LOSS
Though we do not provide pet cremations, we realize your pet is an important member of your family. We would be most happy to provide you with our Pet Loss Brochure to help you through this difficult time in your life. Or, if you need a recommendation for a reputable pet crematory in the area, please contact us.
