This service includes:
The Premium Simple Cremation is a popular choice for local families. It includes everything in the Simple Cremation plus a witnessed ocean scattering for the family at a location of their choice from Newport Beach to Palos Verdes, and also includes a digital video to share and treasure.
This service is often coordinated to take place with a memorial service on the ground. The witnessed scattering service is scheduled at a date and time of the family's choosing and allows for an unlimited number of friends and family to gather at the location in which the witnessed ash scattering will occur.
This service creates a beautiful, lasting memory that can bring closure with dignity and grace. All will view as the cremated remains are released into the air. They make an elegant trail behind the airplane as they sit on a cushion of air and then disappear.
This service also includes a video of the flight from departure to scattering and landing. The family can choose the accompanying music.
Popular locations that are included in this are service are all beaches from Newport Beach to Palos Verdes. Other popular locations such as Laguna Beach, Santa Monica Bay and Malibu are slightly additional based on distance. Full details can be discussed, please inquire.

A Home Funeral can be added to any service offered by Natural Grace (or replace as the venue for any service offered through Natural Grace).
They are a way for families to honor their family member by having a ceremony at home. Home funerals can come in many forms. Some choose to keep their loved one at home for a short amount of time right after death for immediate family and close friends to come by to show their respects. Other families choose to create a special setting and have a more organized ceremony at home. For longer periods of time, the body is kept temporarily preserved through the use of dry ice. (Embalming is used only when necessary)
We assist families in setting up and facilitating home funerals, and we also offer to simply guide them should they want to facilitate the service and care themselves. Home funerals can be a very beautiful and special way for families to have time with their loved one in the comfort of their own home.
