Funeral Services
Our Mission Statement
"To create meaningful funeral ceremonies in a gathering of family and friends in a celebration of life that has been lived and to offer support service to the family during their grief and recovery experience."
Each funeral ceremony should be a warm and memorable reflection of the person who has died. It should be a celebration of a life lived. At Clawsons, our staff goes to great lengths to personalize each service with photographs, special music, dove releases or displaying items made by the deceased. If families tell us what made their loved ones life so special we will offer them ideas for personalizing the ceremony.
Cremation
Some individuals today are choosing to have their remains cremated. Cremation is a process whereby the human body is placed in a container called a retort and the body is reduced by intense heat to its skeletal fragments called cremains or cremated remains. These cremated remains are then processed into its finer elements for containerization. The cremated remains are typically placed in an urn and interred in a cemetery, entombed in a niche in a mausoleum, scattered over a special place or kept by the family or friend as a cherished possession.

Cremation Caskets and Cremation Containers
Clawson Funeral Home offers a wide range of cremation caskets and cremation containers for individual or family selection. A visitation or ceremonial casket is also available for those individuals or families who wish to rent a casket instead of purchasing one.
Choosing an Urn
Deciding what will be done with the cremated remains may help surviving members of the family decide on the type of urn to select. An urn can serve as an important focal point at a funeral ceremony or memorial service. If members of the family desire personal memorials, small portions of the cremated remains may also be placed in keepsake urns or in jewelry specifically created for this purpose.
Clawson Funeral Home offers a large selection of urns, urn vaults, keepsake urns and cremation jewelry from which to choose.
