Private On-site Crematorium

We are proud to offer a state-of-the-art crematory & cremation facility located at our funeral home in Lewes, Delaware. Even though all funeral homes advertise cremation services throughout Sussex County, most people are surprised to learn that the cremation process itself is subcontracted to third parties. This will not happen when you call us in your time of need. 

What does this mean to you?

  • Your family member will never leave our care. We personally oversee the disposition of your loved one through the entire cremation process. This offers you the assurance that we will handle the entire process from the first moment you contact us until the completion of your final disposition requests.

  • We respect all cultural and religious diversity and work closely with the family’s’ clergy or cultural leader, to make sure that religious guidelines are strictly followed.

  • We cremate only one individual at a time. Also, as per Delaware Law we never perform pet cremations in our human crematorium.
