Cremation Services
At Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home, we believe every farewell should reflect the life, values, and wishes of the person being remembered. Whether your family prefers a traditional funeral service, a meaningful memorial gathering, or a simple cremation without ceremony, our experienced staff is here to provide compassionate guidance and personal attention every step of the way.
We are proud to offer cremation services performed right here at our funeral home through Still Waters Aquamation, allowing us to extend our tradition of trusted, professional care through every stage of the process.


Introducing Still Waters Aquamation
A beautiful goodbye can be a cleaner tomorrow.
As part of our continued commitment to the families we serve, Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home is pleased to introduce Still Waters Aquamation, our own on-site cremation facility.
Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation, is a gentle, water-based alternative to flame cremation. Using a carefully controlled combination of water, temperature, and alkalinity, this process accomplishes the same essential purpose as flame cremation, leaving the mineral remains of the bones to be prepared and returned to the family.
By providing this service within our own facility, we are able to maintain direct oversight of the cremation process, with the same professional staff and commitment to dignity, identification, and respectful care that families have trusted for generations.
Aquamation offers families another thoughtful way to honor a loved one while reducing the environmental impact associated with the cremation process. Whether you choose a complete funeral service, a memorial gathering, or a simple cremation, our commitment to meaningful care remains unchanged.
To learn more about the process, its benefits, and answers to frequently asked questions, we invite you to visit Still Waters Aquamation.
Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation
Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.
Memorial Service
The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants that lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.
Graveside Service
Graveside services following cremation offer a meaningful way to honor your loved one with a final act of remembrance. This intimate gathering at the burial site of the urn provides a quiet moment for family and friends to reflect, share memories, and say goodbye in a peaceful setting. Whether simple or ceremonial, it’s a heartfelt way to bring closure and lay your loved one to rest with dignity.
