Legacy Cremation Services serving Scottsdale, AZ: The Creative Cremation Consultant.

Why Cremation Planning? Because it is the reasonably priced alternative for final arrangements, offering a customized and dignified tribute at a cost far less than a traditional funeral and burial. With all the options available, cremation costs are less prohibitive – at a time when finances are the last thing you want to think about. Your family can start the grieving process without incurring additional financial strain.

Why Pre-Plan? Family-owned for two decades, Legacy Cremation Services always provides quality cremations at an exceptional value. However, pre-planned cremation arrangements offer a respectful alternative that alleviates the burden of making all those decisions at a critical time. And, costs are minimized. Scottsdale residents can plan according to today’s prices, rather than a potentially higher future price.

Help with the Grieving Process. Everyone handles grief differently. Legacy does its best to be there for you before, during and after the final cremation arrangements are carried out. Our cremation counselors will help you find the right kind of support for you and your family, if that’s what you need.

More than anything, the cremation process offers the flexibility
to celebrate each life in a unique and personal way.

Cremations allow for more than a standard memorial service. Cremation lends itself to celebrating the life of your loved one in a way that honors your family’s spiritual beliefs, as well as the uniqueness of the deceased. Here are some of the cremation options available to you. The cremation consultants at Legacy know what works and what doesn’t; but first we will sit and listen to your specific needs and feelings. You can honor your loved one with a memorial service and by:

• Writing an obituary for the local newspaper
• Setting up a photographic display that includes pictures of the deceased and which will seal a positive memory of the deceased in the minds of those who attend
• Creating a video slide show of the special times in the life of the deceased to show to those who attend. This can even include special words from the deceased, to each family member and other key people in attendance, an especially touching way for family and friends to remember the person with joy.
• Posting a memorial website. Legacy has grown with the times and we realize that friends and family live farther apart than ever before. That is why not everyone who wants to can attend a memorial service. In these cases, Legacy recommends setting up a special memorial website where friends and family can share their heartfelt condolences and memories from wherever they are. A web site can be added to at any time, and it lasts forever.
• Developing a cremation memorial program – or small pamphlet – which encapsulates the life of the deceased through poetry, special Bible verses, and photos that capture the essence of the deceased’s life, and which is presented to all who attend as a memento of this special time.
• Choosing a meaningful location for a viewing, memorial service, or scattering of ashes.

Legacy would be honored to guide you through cremation planning, helping you to find templates for printed materials, videos and web sites, and share with you from our long-standing experience what works well and what doesn’t.

And, we can help you get benefits.
