While not a "casket", the alternative container serves a similar purpose for cremation by serving as the vessel that your loved one is placed into and cremated in.  We offer a variety of alternative containers for your family to select but please know that ultimately they all functionally do the same thing.  We don't believe it is our place to make assumptions as to what your family may or may not want when planning a cremation for your loved one which is why we offer a variety of alternative containers to select from as shown below.

Each alternative container listed below is also noted for its suitability for different types of services.  It is the policy of our firm to only direct offsite services with the body present with an appropriate container that allows for safe and respectful transport of the deceased as well as public viewings that precede cremation only in specific cremation containers.  If your family does not wish to purchase a container that will ultimately be cremated, we also offer rental casket options that are respectful yet affordable and can be discussed with your funeral director at the time of arrangement. 

Following the cremation of your loved one, the cremated remains are placed in an urn.  We have a large variety of urns available for order, which can be accessed in our online urn catalog by clicking the PDF icon below.  

Natural Organic Reduction utilizes the body’s own naturally occurring microbes to gently transform remains into nutrient-rich soil. The process is conducted in individual pods and takes about 60 days to complete. The resulting soil (approximately one cubic yard) can then be returned to your family to be planted in gardens or donated to a green belt property in Kent, Washington to aid in the restoration and rejuvenation of a Washington forest. 

Our price for Natural Organic Reduction includes basic services of the funeral director and staff, transfer of remains to the funeral home, up to five days refrigeration, basic sanitary care (no embalming, NOR will not work when a body has been embalmed) and one hour optional private family viewing during weekday business hours, transfer of remains to the Natural Organic Reduction facility in Auburn, Washington and the fees for the actual Natural Organic Reduction process.

Alkaline hydrolysis, also known as "flameless" or "water based" cremation, is a process for the disposal of human remains using lye and heat. 

The charge for Alkaline Hydrolysis may be substituted for traditional flame based cremation with any of our cremation packages, including direct cremation. Embalming does not impact the process and can still be selected when alkaline hydrolysis is selected as the final method of disposition. 

This additional charge includes transportation to the nearest alkaline hydrolysis facility (presently located in Kent, Washington), the alkaline hydrolysis process itself and return of the processed remains via US Mail from the facility to our funeral home.

If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase the body and can be made of material like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without an outside covering). The containers we provide are cardboard and fiberboard.
