Branch & Pyre is a direct cremation service, which means we don’t offer “viewing” or visitation. We’ve found that many families are content to say goodbye to their loved one privately, whether that be at home, or at a hospital/hospice setting, instead of at a crematorium.
-
Once the cremation arrangements have been made, and the related legal forms have been filled out, you can expect to receive your loved one’s ashes returned to you within seven to ten days.
CELEBRATE LIFE, SIMPLY.
Traditional funerals aren’t for everyone.
At Branch & Pyre, we understand that large, traditional funerals aren’t for everyone. Many families are choosing to do things differently now. They’re planning gatherings for their loved one that are more casual, a little less formal, and often, something they can plan themselves with the help of family and friends.
Celebrate the life of your loved one in a way that feels meaningful for both you and your family, without planning a traditional funeral service.
