Since the crematory is at The Lexington Cemetery, is it necessary to consult with a funeral director?
Regardless of how traditional or contemporary the cremation service is, The Lexington Cemetery, which is the regional crematory available to the community, requires any person who wishes to be cremated to be brought to the cemetery by a licensed funeral director. The funeral director is a trained professional who provides a very definite service for the family. He or she picks up the body at the place of death, provides proof of proper identification, completes all legal documentation prior to cremation and also assists the family members or friends at the funeral/memorial service and visitation/memorial gathering.
