California Funeral Alternatives with Simply Remembered

California funeral alternatives through our family-owned business can range in scope, size, and function. See some of our funeral alternatives below:

  • Tailored Funeral Services: We offer a traditional funeral service, but you may prefer a tailored one instead. Funerals with us can be altered in any way you need to better suit your preferences or that of your deceased loved one. Discuss the options and proposed changes with us, and we’ll make it happen. Some tailored services can include things like overnight home viewings. 
  • Memorial Services: A memorial service is a wonderful way for friends and family to gather and appreciate the departed. The main difference between a traditional funeral and a memorial service is that the body is not present for the memorial. This can be a separate event for acquaintances to come and share their respects without the intimacy and privacy of having the body nearby. 
  • Burial Services: We can design certain ceremonies around a burial service that you won’t get at a traditional funeral. We’re open to any ideas and suggestions from you and will be prepared and ready to implement those as the process is planned out.
  • Graveside Services: If you’d like the memorial or funeral to take place at the graveside of your departed loved one, that can absolutely be arranged. We‘ll make all the necessary preparations for this kind of service.

Alternative Cremation Services

There are various alternative cremation services available, depending on your preferences. You can choose to have cremation services in any of the following ways, among others:


  • Cremation with Memorial Service: We can combine a cremation ceremony with a memorial service. The body can be cremated for close family, and then the memorial can allow other friends to honor and remember the departed.
  • Scattering Remains Ceremony: If your loved one had a place they wanted to have their ashes scattered or if it’s something you’d like to choose for them, we can arrange it.


Other variations and alternative cremation services are available upon request. We’re available and willing to help you plan the perfect alternative ceremony.
