Experienced Provider Streamlines Options for Funeral and Cremation in Aurora, CO

When you choose a full-service provider for final services such as a funeral and cremation in Aurora, CO, you benefit from working with an establishment that can support you with a wide range of options. This helps most significantly since everything can be coordinated through one trusted provider. With multiple funeral homes, cemeteries, and other venues and amenities at our disposal, CFCS Colorado offers you the flexibility to find what is needed for your situation. Professionals who understand this need can honor all Catholic customs and traditions.

Priced to cover costs and keep our operation running, you can count on the low-cost advantage of working with a charitable ministry serving the Archdiocese of Denver. Suppose your service need is for a person who served in public servicemen or women professions such as police, firefighters, or military services. The appropriate honors can be arranged, and a discount for these heroes may be available. Preplanning services far in advance can yield some financial savings for your family when the time comes for your funerary needs.

It is consistent with Catholic policy to have a funeral service followed by a casket burial in a sacred space such as a Church-affiliated cemetery. However, if there is a need or preference to cremate the human form through incineration, that can also be acceptable. If you choose to cremate, know that the church recommends that the cremated remains be buried similarly to a full-sized casket in either above or below-ground solutions. In this way, the remains can be laid to rest in a location that invites peace and rest while waiting for the resurrection.

Care should be taken to diligently respect the dignity of the corpse when transferring or preparing the remains for disposition. Alternate placements for cremated remains, such as scattering the ashes in nature, containing the ashes in a displayable urn, or separating the remains into jewelry or smaller urns in multiple locations, are not advised. The goal is to always honor and respect the body, living or dead, in a way that also honors Christ.

• Why do we need an obituary notice?

It is helpful to friends and the community to have an obituary notice published announcing the death and type of service to be held. A notice can be placed in a local newspaper, or on the Internet.

• What do funeral directors do?
