We offer cremation services in Louisville, KY, and the surrounding areas. Our team will come to pick up the body to take it to the crematorium. These services are available in a 45-mile radius around Louisville, KY as well as Indianapolis, IN.
What is Cremation?
Most people know that cremation is the process of reducing the human body using flame and heat. It is necessary to use specialized equipment to increase the heat high enough to complete cremation. This process isn't the final disposition of the remains. Instead, it provides the reduced remains so that the family can choose placement after the cremation is done.
After the cremation is complete, organic bone fragments will be swept into a cooling pan. Then, the fragments are put in a machine that processed them to create a consistent size. Finally, the remains are placed in either a temporary or permanent urn to match the preferences of the family.
If you choose cremation, it isn't necessary to pay for a traditional casket or embalming. As a result, cremation can be a cost-effective option compared to a traditional funeral.
Where Will the Cremated Remains Be Stored?
One of the benefits of cremation is that you have the opportunity to choose the final resting place for the remains. Some people desire to have the cremated remains buried in a family cemetery plot or another location. In this situation, the remains are placed in an urn and then a small graveside service might be held if you desire.
Other times, the cremated remains are put in one or more urns, then placed in a family home. Dividing the remains into multiple urns allows all family members to have a memory of their loved one nearby, even if they live far away.
A final option is to scatter the remains in nature or over water. This scattering often has meaning for the individual and family. The scattering is designed to offer the closure that people need after the loss of a loved one.
Here at Woodlawn Cremations & Funeral Service, we always cater our services to match the preferences of our customers. If you have immediate needs for cremation, then call us to schedule a pickup time for these services.
Some of our customers prefer to plan their cremation in advance. This method reduces the burden on family members after they are gone. You are welcome to contact us anytime if you would like to plan ahead for services that will be needed in the future.

Is Cremation Right for Your Family Member?
Cremation is a personal decision, and it needs to be evaluated by your family members. There are many benefits to choosing cremation instead of a traditional funeral and burial. For example, cremation is a cheaper solution compared to buying a casket and paying for embalmment. Also, cremation is a way to reduce the impact on the environment since it isn't necessary to bury a casket.
Today, most religions allow for cremation, although there are a few religions that prohibit this choice. Since most religions allow cremation, it is usually a personal decision made by the family.
