Welcome to Columbia Cremation Service

Welcome to Columbia Cremation Service. At Columbia Cremation Service it is our goal to provide you with the information necessary to make an informed decision and help you to select a cremation service provider in Columbia Missouri that will best suit the needs of your family during that difficult time when you experience the death of a loved one.
As the decision to choose cremation as the means of final disposition has grown to become more popular in recent years, more businesses providing this type of service has grown as well. “Cremation only” type businesses have popped up all across the country and are able to provide what is referred to as “direct cremation” in the case where families are not planning a funeral service. Many of these types of “cremation only” businesses do not provide and allow for many of the important details and aspects of care that grieving families require and have come to expect from traditional funeral service providers. In most cases these “Cremation Only” type businesses have installed cremation facilities in warehouse type structures that pass the necessary requirements to receive a license to operate as a crematory, but do not provide the facilities necessary to accommodate their families otherwise.
At Columbia Cremation Service we use the following criteria to help provide you with what we consider the best possible choice for cremation service providers in the Columbia Missouri area:
1.) Licensed Full service Funeral Establishment & Crematory: (We feel it is important and necessary that the firm chosen be able to accommodate any decisions and choices that the family has.)
2.) Professional Reputation: (Firms that belong to various funeral service organizations that represent high standards of service expected through their association membership as well as providing continuing education and other important resources provided by their membership, as well as firms who are held in high regard by their peers, or other funeral service providers.)
3.) Number of years serving the Columbia Mo community: (The longer they have been in business, the more references they have.)
4.) Community Involvement and Leadership: (We feel that firms whose owners and staff are active and involved members of the community tend to provide the best service.)
5.) Locally Owned and Operated: ( In a world where many of these firms are owned by corporations and knowing that the corporate world tends to be more concern about the “bottom line” than the people they serve, we highly recommend firms that are locally owned.)
Based on the above criteria, of all the Cremation Service providers in Columbia Mo we only have one firm that met and received top grades in all five categories. That is why we have selected “Parker Funeral Service & Crematory” as our featured cremation service provider in Columbia Mo. We have provided a link to their website as our featured sponsor.
