We Offer Quality Cremation Services in Federal Way, WA
We are an independent business unburdened by the common constraints of a national franchise. We have our own crematory facility and provide complete services, from filing permits and arranging transportation of the remains to providing a selection of premium urns for the ashes.
We offer two types of cremation procedures:
1. Fire-Based Cremation – The most common type of cremation in the U.S. uses flames and heat to reduce the remains into bone fragments. Fire-based cremation is permitted all over the country.
- 2. Water-Based Cremation (Alkaline Hydrolysis) – This is an unorthodox method that uses water, alkaline chemicals, and pressure to accelerate the decomposition of the remains. It uses one-seventh of the energy required in fire-based cremation. Water-based cremation is currently permitted in only 19 states.
If you’re interested in a cremation service and have questions about the process, call or inquire via email. We’ll be happy to provide information and assist in your planning.

The Benefits of Cremation Services
For years, people bury the remains of their loved ones in a cemetery where they can later visit and recall their fond memories of the deceased. Arranging a traditional burial, however, takes a lot of time and resources. It requires purchasing land in a cemetery and a coffin and paying for services like embalming, the use of a funeral parlor, and transportation.
Cremation has a similar process, but the details are easier to arrange. The services are also more affordable, mainly because the interment of ashes is more flexible.
You can install the urn in a memorial park or a columbarium nearer to where you live in the city. You may even keep the ashes in a private property or your home. If you choose the latter, you can save on burial and interment costs and take your loved one’s ashes wherever you go.
With cremation, there is no need for a viewing of the remains. You can have a more intimate and private gathering with family and friends instead, which is more affordable to arrange. Moreover, you won’t need transportation services after the cremation or the memorial service to take the urn home or your chosen columbarium.
The standard urn for an adult measures 200 cubic inches (one cubic inch per pound of weight), according to the Cremation Association of North America (CANA). Jars around ten inches high and seven inches in diameter are perfect as urns – light, compact, and easy to carry around. You can also keep a pinch of your beloved’s ashes in a locket as jewelry. A physical remembrance of someone you love may offer you a sense of comfort.
