Sunset Gardens and Einan’s at Sunset offers a wide array of options for memorializing and commemorating those who have chosen cremation within a variety of beautiful settings. Our Advance Planning Specialists are happy to help you make the right selection now, before the need arises.

Cremation allows for many of the same offerings as burial only with a longer timeline. A traditional public viewing or funeral can be held before cremation. After cremation a memorial or Celebration of Life service can follow. The urn can be present or not, depending on your wishes.

Afterwards, placement of the urn either via in-ground burial or in a wall niche can take place accompanied by a graveside inurnment ceremony. Some families like to utilize balloon releases or dove releases at the end of the graveside ceremony. A catered reception can follow directly afterwards, with wine and beer if desired.

You may direct that your ashes be divided to allow permanent placement of a portion, scattering of a portion and provide keepsake portions for family members. Small portions may be added to keepsake jewelry, small portion urns or secured in any way you wish. We also offer a premium scattering garden location specifically designed as a permanent form of scattering.

No, you are not required to purchase a casket. However, there is a Washington state law requirement for a full body encasement, referred to as a cremation container. The purpose of this container is to ensure the health and safety of staff and to protect the dignity of the person we are caring for.

For those who may wish to have a public viewing we have a variety of cremation containers that are suitable for presentation as well. Another option for viewing prior to cremation is use of a rental casket. Please ask your Advance Planning Specialist for more information.
