Cremation Services
Your Cremation Services can be as individual as you are
Every celebration of life should be as unique as your loved one who lived it. Our caring staff at Ryan Funeral Homes is here to listen and assist you with the arrangements to honor the life that was lived with the cremation services that suit your specific needs.
One of the main benefits of cremation is the flexibility it provides the family. A traditional visitation and service can be conducted prior to cremation or after. The resting place for the cremated remains can be with family, scattered at a desired location, or a traditional burial can be held at a cemetery. If a cemetery is preferred, the urn can be placed either above or below ground.
Ryan Funeral Homes offers many cremation packages that cater to your family’s religious and cultural needs, as well as individual desires, for your final arrangements. Our packages allow your family to have the option of a traditional visitation and funeral service or no memorial service if that is your wish. View our cremation packages below.

Today there are numerous options for the cremated remains as well. Custom urns, such as double urns or co-mingling urns are becoming more commonplace. Keepsake urns, jewelry, and artwork are also increasing in popularity. Learn more about our urns, urn vaults, and cremation caskets.
Urns
To accommodate the growing number of families who opt for cremation, our urn collection includes biodegradable urns for scattering as well as traditional urns made of marble, wood, bronze, or ceramic. Styles range from understated and classic to ornate and decorative.
Urn Vaults
Similar to a burial vault, if you plan to bury the urn, many cemeteries require a vault in order to protect the urn and the surrounding earth.
Cremation Caskets
For those who choose cremation with a traditional funeral service, we offer cremation caskets built specifically for cremation.
