Cremation is becoming a more popular service; for many families it is replacing traditional burial. Here at Jackson Funeral Service we have our own crematory located on site. Once your loved one is in our care, they are not transferred elsewhere. We even allow family members to be present at the start of the cremation, if you wish.

If you are interested in inspecting our crematory, contact us to schedule an appointment.
