What Services Does Southern Cremations & Funerals Provide?

Southern Cremations & Funerals provides everything families in Metro Atlanta need in one place. Our three full-service funeral homes include on-site crematories and beautiful cemeteries in Marietta at Cheatham Hill Memorial Park, in Fairburn at Holly Hill Memorial Park, and in McDonough at Eastlawn Memorial Park.

Our services include traditional funeral services, direct cremation, cremation with memorial service, burial services, graveside services, cemetery property and memorialization, preplanning, veteran funeral and cremation services, international shipping, and grief support resources. Every cremation and funeral service is performed on site by our own trained and vetted employees.

Why Is It Important That a Cremation Provider Owns Their Own Crematory?

Many cremation providers in the Atlanta, Georgia region do not own or operate their own crematory. This means third-party contractors become involved in handling, transporting, and cremating a loved one, sometimes without oversight from the provider a family originally chose. At Southern Cremations & Funerals, your loved one stays in the shelter of our location and in the care of our staff until the cremation is complete and we return the remains to you.

Our on-site crematories at each location use a meticulous tracking system with a unique identification number and stainless steel identification disc for every individual. Witness cremation is available for families who wish to be present. This level of care and transparency is our commitment to the families we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Funeral and Cremation Services in Metro Atlanta

How is the cemetery maintained?

Our cemeteries are maintained through a program called perpetual care. Perpetual care means that a portion of the funds from each burial, entombment, or cemetery purchase is placed into a dedicated trust or endowment. This fund is invested, and the earnings are used to support the ongoing upkeep and preservation of the cemetery, including landscaping, lawn care, road and pathway maintenance, and general property upkeep.

What can I do with an urn or cremated remains I have at home?

If you have cremated remains at home, you are welcome to bring the urn to any of our cemetery locations in Marietta, Fairburn, or McDonough. Placement options may include an outdoor or indoor front glass niche, a private family columbarium, a bench or beveled post, a family burial space, or burial in our peaceful Butterfly Garden. The Butterfly Garden provides a serene and meaningful resting place for cremated remains within a perpetual care cemetery.
