A Simple Cremation Option With the Support of an Established Funeral Home

Direct cremation may be appropriate for families who want a simple arrangement without a formal viewing, visitation or funeral service before cremation.

DeGraff Cremation Service provides direct cremation while giving families the support and guidance of DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home.

What Is Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation takes place without a formal viewing, visitation or funeral service beforehand.

DeGraff assists the family with the necessary arrangements, authorizations, transportation and coordination of the cremation process.

For families who want simplicity, direct cremation can provide a straightforward option while still giving loved ones the opportunity to remember and celebrate the person’s life afterward.

Can We Have a Memorial After Direct Cremation?

Yes.

Choosing direct cremation does not prevent your family from having a memorial service, celebration of life, church service or other gathering afterward.

Some families choose direct cremation first and plan a memorial at a later date when family members and friends are able to gather.

Direct Cremation Does Not Limit Your Choices

Sometimes a family begins by considering direct cremation and later decides that they would like a viewing, visitation or funeral service.

Because DeGraff Cremation Service is located at DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, additional service options are available if your family’s wishes change.

You can choose the simplicity of direct cremation or select additional services that are meaningful to your family.
