Are Cremation Services Right for My Family?

Every year we get more families in our home inquiring about our Worry-Free Cremation program as a safe and secure way to lay their loved one to rest. Cremation has become the most popular choice for after-death care in the United States, and the compassionate service provided by Bettendorf, IA cremation services is part of the reason why. If you’re considering visiting Trimble Funeral Home & Crematory for cremation, read on to see if our program is right for you.

Do You Want Added Security? 

Our worry-free guarantee is one of our biggest selling points, because many clients worry that they’ll receive the right ashes. When you work with us, the first step is to get first-hand identification of the deceased before we begin work. Then for the cremation, we’ll place a fire-proof ID tag on before cremating, ensuring that each set of remains is identifiable after cremation and when returned to the loved ones.

Are You Looking for a Full Memorial? 

Many clients choose cremation as a lower-cost alternative to earth burial, but still want to pay tribute to their loved one with a group of friends and family. When you choose one of our memorial plus cremation packages, you’ll get all the amenities of a funeral. This includes the services of our funeral director, the use of our meeting hall, our digital services, and options for visitation and a full memorial service before or after cremation.

Do You Want to Put Together Your Own Memorial? 

Some clients want the professional service of our cremation program but want to conduct their own private ceremony for a small group of friends and family, often to scatter the ashes. For those clients, we offer our basic cremation program that will quickly return the remains to you in a vessel of your choosing. Basic cremation containers are included with all services, but we recommend our line of scattering urns for a controlled release.

Are You Planning a Veteran’s Funeral? 

A person who serves this country honorably in wartime or peacetime is eligible for honors from the US government including a military honor detail and complimentary burial markers from the US government. If you’ve chosen cremation for your loved one who served but still want to ensure a full military service, we can help. Our staff is experienced in working with the government agencies responsible for processing veteran’s benefits and we can expedite the process.

Are You Looking to Pre-Plan Cremation Services? 

Not all our clients visit us after a loss - many are here to plan their own service, often decades in advance. When you use our pre-planning services, you can designate everything from major details like the final cremation container to personal touches like choice of flowers or which speakers you want at your memorial. You can also create a payment plan, letting you pay off the service in installments and leaving nothing for your loved ones to do down the line.

Cremation services in Bettendorf, IA are the ideal choice for families that want flexible and compassionate service. Set up a consultation with Trimble Funeral Home & Crematory in person at our Moline or Coal Valley offices, or contact us by phone or on our website.
