Cremation, Burial and Other Final Resting Place Options

"Russ, April and Greg were terrific.  The marker engraving was handled for me very efficiently."  Janet Lee Otten 

At Krause Funeral Homes, we respect the careful consideration that goes into making a final resting place choice for your deceased loved one and want to share some additional thoughts to help you decide which option makes the most sense for your particular situation. Remember that no matter which option you select, you can plan a memorable service to honor your loved one.

Additional to personal choice, we see families making final resting place decisions for the following reasons:

Burial

• Religious beliefs
• Family tradition

Cremation

• Environmental concerns about burial
• Can sometimes be less expensive than traditional burial

Entombment

• Desire to be above ground or indoors

Green Burial

• Wish to use easily biodegradable materials or avoid chemical preservatives

Body Donation

• Help to advance medical practices and medical research

If Direct Cremation or Immediate Burial is your Choice
At Krause Funeral Homes we will expertly handle a cremation or burial with no services or ceremonies with dignity and respect, and follow the specific wishes of the deceased or family members.
