Cremation Service Packages

In some cases when a family chooses not to have a viewing before cremation takes place, the body is cremated immediately after death following a meeting and securing the necessary permissions with one of our licensed funeral directors (in person, or over the phone), which means that you may engage the services of a licensed Crematory/Funeral Home .  This can potentially save you a significant amount of money. The body is usually cremated in a simple container, rather than an expensive casket.

For the convenience of the families that desire cremation we have designed a few cremation options around the most requested types of cremation services. They are designed to assist you and your family when planning final disposition by cremation.

The local crematory (Riverside Crematory, Fargo) requires the use of an alternative container for handling and placement of a deceased person at the crematory. We offer a choice as to the type of cremation container you would like to be used. These range from the most simple container to those that more closely resemble a very simple casket. We also have a selection of Urns that may be used for final disposition. You will find all of these prices within the General Price List.

  • Traditional Funeral Service with cremation following the service (Body is present at service).
  • Memorial Service (Body is not present at service).
  • Direct Cremation (No formal ceremony, minimum level of service)
  • Within the categories listed above, there are a number of choices available to meet each family’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to ask any of our 6 licensed funeral directors in Fargo, Kindred or Hillsboro any questions you may have.

Human bodies are at times willed, bequeathed, deeded or donated to the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Human bodies are an indispensable aid in medical teaching. The basis of all medical knowledge is human anatomy; human anatomy can be learned only by a study of the human body. Without this study there would be no doctors, no surgery, no alleviation of disease or repair of injury. The giving of one’s body, at the time of death, for the betterment of humanity, is a truly noble and commendable act. By such action a person may accomplish much that will be of inestimable value to generations yet unborn, and perhaps even to direct descendants. UND’s new policy is a person who is interested in deeding their body to science make application prior to passing away.
