Cremation Options for Glendale Families

Every family's needs are different, and we offer several ways to arrange cremation care for a loved one:

• Direct cremation- a simple, dignified cremation without a preceding service, ideal for families who want a straightforward process.
• Cremation with a memorial service- cremation completed first, followed by a gathering to celebrate your loved one's life on your own timeline.
• Cremation with a funeral service- a traditional service held before cremation takes place.
• Witness cremation- family members who wish to be present for the cremation itself may arrange to do so.
• Cremation with graveside committal- a brief service at the cemetery to inter cremated remains, for families who want a place to visit.

Each option can be personalized with photos, music, readings, and gathering details that reflect your loved one's life. We also coordinate hospice resources, veterans services and military honors, and pre-planning for families who want to arrange things in advance.

About Glendale, Colorado

Glendale is a small, densely populated city almost entirely surrounded by the City and County of Denver, though it sits within Arapahoe County. Despite covering just over half a square mile, Glendale is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Colorado. Cherry Creek runs through the heart of the city, and the Cherry Creek Trail passes along its edge, connecting Glendale to downtown Denver and the Cherry Creek Shopping District nearby.

Glendale is known as the home of Infinity Park, a municipally-owned entertainment and sports campus that includes the country's first rugby-specific stadium, earning the city its "RugbyTown USA" nickname. The city's compact size and central location within the metro area mean most Glendale addresses are only a short drive from our Denver office, making arrangements straightforward for families who live here.
