Funeral planning may not be the first thing on your mind when you wake up in the morning, but taking steps now to set your ideas firmly about your service will give you peace of mind and relieve your loved ones of the burden. Oak Grove Cemetery in La Crosse, Wisconsin offers a meaningful option in the way of cremations services, which is growing in popularity as the chosen way to be remembered after death. Here are few thoughts to bear in mind:

• Funeral service: You may believe that if you choose cremation, your loved ones will not be able to participate in a traditional funeral. That is simply untrue. You may choose to have an open casket viewing prior to cremation, or you may opt to have a memorial service with a beautiful urn.
• Grave markers: Your loved ones may want to have a public place to gather and remember you, and you might think that cremation leaves you no such options. Again, this is false. Oak Grove Cemetery gives you a choice regarding the final disposition of the remains, such as urns (the traditional image of cremation), but you may also elect to have a place in their garden and historic mausoleums. You can still have an in-ground burial, or your ashes may be added to the scattering garden.
• Cost: Final services can require an ample budget, and if you are looking for a way to reduce your expenses, cremation is an excellent opportunity to do so.

With a cremation unit on site, Oak Grove Cemetery is prepared to handle all aspects of your final wishes. Call the compassionate and knowledgeable staff at Oak Grove Cemetery at (608) 782-6956 to learn more about their cremation services.
