Cremation Services
Cremation is a deeply personal choice and one that can be tailored to reflect your values, beliefs, and traditions. At Middendorf Funeral Home, we offer a full range of cremation services that allow for both flexibility and dignity.
Traditional Funeral Service Followed by Cremation
For families who wish to honor a loved one with the familiarity and reverence of a traditional funeral, followed by cremation, this option offers the best of both. You may choose to include a visitation or wake, a final viewing, and a formal funeral service—held in our chapel, a church, or a location of your choosing. After the service, cremation is carried out with dignity and care.
Following cremation, the remains can be returned to your family in an urn, interred in a cemetery or columbarium, or scattered in a location that holds personal meaning. Our staff is here to guide you through each step, helping you plan a tribute that reflects your loved one’s life, beliefs, and wishes. Please note this option includes fees for both the funeral service and the cremation process.
Memorial Service
A memorial service provides a meaningful way to celebrate a loved one’s life after cremation has taken place. Whether held in our chapel, a church, outdoors, or any place
that feels special to your family, a memorial service allows for stories, music, scripture, and heartfelt remembrance without the physical presence of the body.
Our team will help you create a personalized experience that honors your loved one’s spirit and legacy. If clergy are not selected, our certified life celebrants can lead the service, offering warmth, empathy, and a healing atmosphere that brings comfort to all in attendance.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is a simple yet profound way to say a final goodbye. Often held immediately following a funeral or memorial service, it can also be arranged as a standalone event for those who prefer a more intimate gathering.

Whether you envision prayers, personal words, or a quiet moment of reflection, our team will ensure this ceremony is carried out with respect, tenderness, and care. We will help you create a setting that offers peace, closure, and space for remembrance.
