Mack Funeral Home offers several options for those considering cremation.  Mack Funeral Home operates the first on-site crematory in Baldwin County.     

Just like burial, cremation can occur after a funeral where the casket is present at one's place of worship or a funeral chapel.  The only real difference between a funeral followed by burial is that the remains are taken to a crematory after the service in lieu of a procession to the cemetery.

Cremation with Memorialization is another option for those choosing cremation.  A memorial service, like a funeral, is a service of remembrance, only without the body present.  It may be held at a place of worship, the funeral chapel or any other appropriate location.

Still, some prefer the option of direct cremation.  This is done immediately after the death, with no formal services held.

While these descriptions cover the types of cremation services, your choices are not required to fit exactly into any particular category.  There are literally "options within options" available to provide a meaningful service with flexibility to the needs of each person or family we serve.
