With a contemporary cremation there is no formal public viewing of the body and the date of the memorial visitation/service is flexible. Private family viewing or witnessing of cremation is available,

Private family farewell and/or witnessing of cremation (limited to 8 people). Includes washing, grooming, and other appropriate preparation of the body. Please note that this service is available at the sole discretion of the funeral director and is not available in all cases (e.g. trauma, autopsy, cases of disease or extended delay in viewing from the time of death). Embalming may be required. Viewing will be conducted at the funeral home in a First Step Cremation Casket.
We want this to be a positive experience for your family and we will do everything possible to make that happen. If the private family viewing evolves into a public visitation, you will be charged according to our General Price List.
