People who plan services with the Cremation Society of Indiana come from all social, religious and economic backgrounds finding satisfaction in the simplicity of the cremation rite. They choose to dispense with the traditional funeral and cemetery services in favor of the simple, yet dignified and Marcella Burton taught in Sheridan economical procedure oi cremation. Our preplanning program allows families to care for all details in advance, thereby relieving survivors of the need to make urgent decisions while in a state of grief. Preplanning provides -families with complete peace of mind, both emotionally and financially. Most people who preplan with the Cremation Society of Indiana are drawn to this decision by the purity and dignity of this rite.

They are also concerned citizens who look toward the future, believing that the number of dollars not expended for the traditional funeral and cemetery costs could be put to a very meaningful use through bequests to children or perhaps left as a memorial to the decedent's favorite charity as a continuation of his or her efforts to build a better tomorrow. If you share this philosophy and cremation fills your needs, call on the cremation specialists. Services for Marcella L.
