scheduling, and the costs involved.

merchandise, and any additional care needed.

What is the difference between direct cremation
and a memorial service?
Direct cremation does not include a formal viewing
or funeral beforehand. A memorial service is a
gathering after cremation and may include an urn,
photographs, music, and tributes. Families can
discuss adding a memorial service to their plans.
How long does the cremation arrangement take?
Timing depends on completion of the necessary
documents and authorizations, along with
scheduling. We will explain the expected
timeline for your situation.
Can cremated remains be buried?
Yes. Many cemeteries offer burial or niche
options for cremated remains. Requirements
and availability differ, and our team can
help you coordinate with your chosen cemetery.
Can relatives watch a service online?
Livestreaming is available at Berg Mortuary
locations. Ask your funeral director about
arrangements and how to share viewing
information with family and friends.
