Although Wildwood offers cremation services, we cannot act as a funeral director for the general public as we are not licensed to do so. Wildwood does, however, have a good working relationship with all the local funeral homes, many of which bring their cremation business to us.
Wildwood’s facility is clean and modern, has refrigeration, and our staff includes a CANA (Cremation Association of North America) certified operator on site. All cremations are carried out with the utmost respect and care, adhering to the highest standards.
Wildwood is considerate of diverse faiths and preferences, accommodating the traditions of all. Families who opt for cremation at Wildwood have the option to schedule a brief farewell service in advance. The historical Chapel at Wildwood is also available for family members to gather and pay tribute to their departed loved ones.
After the Cremation
The cremation process is considered to be the final disposition. This means you are not legally required to do anything more with your loved one’s remains, but many families do make arrangements to immediately inter their departed one, while others will make arrangements sometime in the future to suit their specific needs.
Burial
Many families already have family interred here and may wish to be buried alongside them, while others may wish to create such a tradition. There is no right or wrong way. These decisions are deeply personal and should be approached with careful consideration for the departed’s wishes and the needs of all parties involved. Whichever way you may want to proceed, the Wildwood staff is here to help.
To explore these options further, please feel free to contact the Wildwood staff at (570) 323-8421. We will graciously help and guide you through the available choices.
