If I choose cremation, can I still have a traditional church or chapel service?
ANSWER: Absolutely, cremation only takes the place of burying a casket. Instead of proceeding to a cemetery for the comittal, the services are completed at the church or chapel and the cremation step will start when you give the orders. You may ask one of directors about your options.
Mallory-Martin opened their own crematory in 2004. The facility was built to provide a service to the growing number of people in the community who were asking about this alternative to the traditional burial service. The state-of-the-art facility serves all the communities in which Mallory-Martin has funeral homes. It is the only facility of its kind in eastern Oklahoma.
The crematory equipment is modern, meticulously maintained and available for inspection at any time. All transfers of remains are personally handled by Mallory-Martin’s own licensed funeral directors and equipment. Jobbers, middlemen or casket delivery trucks are never contracted to transfer from one facility to another. All cremations are performed by our cremation certified licensed funeral directors.
The cremation service can take place in a traditional or non-traditional setting. Mallory-Martin’s experienced professionals can help you plan a service that celebrates the individuality of the deceased. Services can be held outdoors or in places of special interest.
