Cremation Merchandise Smith-Parks Funeral Service Centers provide a wide selection of cremation merchandise to meet the personalized needs of all families. 
Cremation caskets and containers are available in a wide variety of styles and prices and can be categorized in four different groups: Traditional Wood Caskets, Wood Cremation Caskets, Hardboard Caskets and Fiberboard Containers. Though each container has its unique features, you will want to consider the type of service that is planned before making any decisions. For example, when a traditional ceremony has been scheduled, many families prefer the design and ornamentation of a traditional or cremation casket. However, if a memorial service (without the body present) is planned, you may opt for a hardboard or fiberboard container. Alternative containers are also available; however, they offer no interiors and are often constructed of cardboard. These are suitable when no viewing or service has been scheduled. 
Memorial Urns are permanent containers for the cremated body. A wide range of styles and prices appropriate for burial, niches, scattering, keepsakes or discreet placement in a home. State or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the urn in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault will satisfy these requirements. |
