Slininger-Rossow Funeral Home offers many cremation options to meet each family's needs and financial means.

People need a definite experience that will validate the reality of death and provide an occasion for family and friends to share memories of the one who has died. We suggest you make your wishes known by discussing them with those you love. You may also want to consider prearranging those wishes with us to provide personal peace of mind.

What is cremation?  Cremation is one of the alternatives available to dispose of the remains of a loved one following death. The process reduces the body to bone fragments through the application of intense heat over a period of two to three hours. The remaining fragments are then processed into a granular form and placed in a temporary container.

Cremation needs to be incorporated with some type of ceremony for memorialization for our mental well being and ability to cope with grief.

Proper disposition of cremated remains.  Cremated remains may be 1) placed in an urn which is made of a variety of materials, 2) scattered in a commemorative garden, 3) placed in a niche, 4) interred at a cemetery or 5) kept by your family.

Arrangements for cremating and a cremation memorial service may be made in advance of need. Planning for tomorrow is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself and for those you love.
