  • Know what are common actions and reactions for your teen.  How a young teen (13) might respond is most likely different that how a 17-year-old will respond.
  • Watch and listen to them.  Look for opportunities to interact with them and help them.
  • Don’t force a teen to talk.  They’ll talk when they are ready.
  • Make time to talk and when they do decide to talk, give them your undivided attention.

These are just basic guidelines.  Please consult other sources.  For example, look to WebMD for more information.

Cremation and funeral arrangements can be made on line simply and easily.  Once you have found a funeral service or cremation service provider you like and trust, their website should have a set of downloadable forms for your use.

Making these arrangements in your own time and in the comfort of your own home makes this hard time in your life all that much more tolerable.  A series of legal and other forms are usually available in PDF or other easily accessible forms for you to download and print out.

Please see our site for an example.

Our cremation center also allows for a family to comfortably witness the start of the cremation process in our witnessing room.  If for personal or religious reasons a family wishes to start the cremation process they may do so by operating these controls on the interior of the witnessing room.

At Local Cremation our goal is to offer complete cremation service by owning our crematory and personally coming to the home, hospital or nursing home.  We keep our expenses low so we can pass on savings to families, while bringing comfort and reassurance to them.   For more information please visit www.localcremation.com or call Wendell Cox at 214-343-4040.

Simple because you can have just the cremation or anything up to and including a customized memorial service.  Simple because you can make arrangements on line, in our offices or over the phone with one of our professional memorial specialists.

Affordable because the price is the same no matter how you make the arrangements.  On-line allows you to review things privately and on your terms; in our offices gives you the peace of mind that speaking to a professional allows; and on the phone gives you the space and comfort you may need at this time.

Dignified because from the time we pick up your loved one, we treat them, and you, with the dignity your desrve at this time in your lives.  We respect your privacy and are here to serve you in a way that works best for you.

“Is embalming required before cremation?”

Embalming is not required by law.  Most funeral homes require embalming only if there is to be a public viewing.  If there are family members, friends or loved ones who did not get an opportunity to say goodbye,  a time for a small, private viewing with no requirement for embalming can be scheduled.

Your wishes can be accommodated whether you choose to honor your loved one with a small, private viewing or a staffed public viewing.

LocalCremation.com provides professional, caring cremation services.  We would be honored to help you in this time of need for you and your loved ones.  We provide simple, dignified, affordable cremation services to honor a life well lived.
