Cremation Choices

Cremation provides an alternative to traditional funeral services, yet still allows the option of visitation and funeral services, should they be selected.  The Lee family owns and operates our own crematory, thus allowing us to independently maintain the trust bestowed on us by those who request cremation services.  Options for the remains include burial on the family plot, scattering of the ashes, placement in an urn to be kept at home, or placed in a columbarium niche or other location.

Direct Cremation

Is the simplest form of disposition, and includes no ceremonies or rites.  It may take place only after obtaining a signed death certificate from the attending physician, along with a signed authorization from the authorized agent of the deceased and our Country Coroner.  In the State of South Carolina, there is a twenty-four hour waiting period after time of death before cremation can be performed since cremation is irreversible.
