What Is Cremation, and Why Is It Becoming the New Norm?

Cremation is a dignified and environmentally conscious way to bid farewell to our dearly departed. It's an ancient practice that's gaining popularity, especially among Gen-Z and millennials who prioritize sustainability and simplicity. By choosing cremation, you're not only reducing your carbon footprint but also saving valuable land and resources.

At Miles J Kimble Mortuary and Cremation, we understand that every individual is unique, and their farewell ceremony should reflect that. Our cremation services are designed to be flexible, affordable, and tailored to your needs. From traditional memorial services to modern, celebratory gatherings, we'll help you create a meaningful and memorable experience.
