Cremation options not provided by Science Care
Cremation with traditional service
Typically the highest cost of cremation. Incorporates the benefits of both a traditional funeral service and cremation, including embalming and a casket rental. Cremation is performed following the funeral services.

Cremation with memorial service
With a memorial service, the cremated remains need not be present. Cremation with a memorial service is a way to honor the memory of a loved one in much the same way as you would during a funeral service.

Cremation without ceremony
This is also known as direct cremation. The body is cremated shortly after passing, without embalming, viewing or visitation. This is the second most affordable cremation option.
