Cremation

Shuda Funeral Service offers the only Crematory in Portage County

We are proud to offer this option for families, so that their loved one never needs to leave the community to complete services. Cremation services offer many options including public visitation, open casket, and a memorial service.

Most people who prefer cremation want permanent placement of their remains because it serves as a focal point for family members to memorialize and celebrate their life.

Cremation is a personal choice and there are many options. Pre-planning is a good time to look at these options and resolve issues among family members regarding cremation.

The Shuda Family and staff has served many families who have chosen this alternative and are available to discuss cremation with you and your family.


Cremation and the Funeral

The choice of cremation in no way eliminates a funeral. A traditional or contemporary type service is often designed to take place before the cremation process. A funeral service followed by cremation need be no different than a funeral service followed by ground burial. The funeral service can be elaborate or simple; it can be traditional or non-traditional. Today, arrangements are as individual as the persons for whom they are made. A ceremony may be personalized to reflect the life of the deceased and, thus, have special meaning for those present.
