Cremation Services
Cremation Services with Care and Compassion
If your family has chosen cremation, we offer affordable services that help celebrate the life of your loved one while giving you several options for a public gathering and a final resting place. Because we own and operate Buggs Crematory, your loved one never leaves our care throughout the entire process.
Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation
Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service in our chapel or at a church of your choice. However, instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.
Memorial Service
The funeral service can be held in a church or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants who lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service, but it can also be a small, intimate gathering of those closest to you.
We proudly own and operate
Buggs Street Community Cemetery, located at 2685 Bruce D. Buggs Street in Melbourne, Florida — a peaceful and dignified setting for lasting remembrance. While many families choose our cemetery for its convenience and connection to our funeral home, you are welcome to select any resting place you prefer. Our staff will assist with all arrangements with the same care, respect, and professionalism.
Permanent Memorialization
Keeping an Urn at Home
This is a common choice. Families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.
Placing the Urn in a Columbarium
(aka, a "niche")
Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.
Burying the Urn
Similar to a casket, an in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place. We proudly own Buggs Street Community Cemetery in Melbourne, while respectfully assisting families who choose any other resting place.
Scatter the ashes
Some families find comfort in scattering the cremated remains at a place that was special to their loved one.
