Have the talk of a lifetime. Have the Talk of a Lifetime, a program created by The Funeral and Memorial Information Council, was designed to help families have meaningful conversations about the things that matter most in their lives. These discussions can give important insights to the people they left behind insights that can be used to honor and remember the lives of their loved ones. Why is having the talk of a lifetime important? Although we might have daily conversati...ons with our loved ones, the most meaningful and deep ones don’t always happen. Having this kind of conversation can make a huge difference it can help us see our loved ones in a different and more positive light, it can teach us valuable lessons, it can give us a clearer picture of the things they love, it can bring us closer together, and it can help us reaffirm to them how much we love them. If you have any questions about planning your future, please give us a all and we would love to speak with you. -BCC

If you have been thinking about options for your future, or your families future, please see some of the Q&A's below to help you through this next step. 1. Why do most families choose cremation? Cremation has become increasingly popular due to its affordability among other reasons. Many people also choose cremation for environmental concerns, the dignity and simplicity of cremation, and the flexibility it affords in the planning and disposition of the body.... 2. Is an urn required for cremation? The law does not require that families supply an urn. However, the family may choose to bury the remains in an urn, place the urn in a columbarium, store the remains in an urn, or use an urn during a memorial service. If choosing to bury the urn in a cemetery, you may be required to select an urn vault as well which will protect the urn and the surrounding earth. We also have a vast selection of different urns and keepsakes available for purchase. 3. Do I need to purchase a casket? The cremation process does not require a casket although there are caskets made specifically for this purpose. All that is needed is a combustible container which will be cremated with the body. This container can be made of wood or cardboard and will offer dignity for the deceased. 4. What happens with the ashes after the cremation process? The cremated remains will be handled according to the family’s wishes. The remains can be kept at home, buried in the ground, inurned in a columbarium, or scattered on private or public property depending on state law. They can also be placed in a variety of objects such as a rock or bench outdoors or a piece of jewelry or other keepsake.
