National Cremation Placement Day

For many families, deciding what to do with a loved one's cremated remains is a decision that’s postponed, sometimes for months or even years. The remains often stay at home, simply because families may not know what else to do with them. Many families face the same dilemma. However, the choices we make to honor those we love are deeply personal, and there’s no timeline you must follow.

Families choose cremation for many reasons, whether it’s immediate necessity, simplicity or just the comfort of keeping a loved one close. Whatever brought you here, and whatever you’re considering now, the Mountain View commitment to service remains the same. When the time is right, our caring team can help Lakewood and Tacoma families choose thoughtful, unique ways to create a permanent place of remembrance. Whether that’s a traditional burial, a glass-front niche, a memorial bench or boulder, or a scattering on our grounds, we’ll help you find the place where your loved one's story will be preserved for generations to come.
