Planning a funeral in Colorado Springs

For those planning funerals in Colorado Springs, there are a wide range of options. You’ll find many full-service funeral homes in beautiful locations, which can be important if you plan on holding a viewing, visitation or funeral service at the funeral home itself. There are also several options for low-cost, straightforward cremations. These could be good options if you’d like to have your loved one cremated, like over two thirds of Colorado residents. Even if you choose a direct cremation, which is usually the most affordable option, you can still hold a memorial service or celebration of life that you organize yourself. With many beautiful Colorado event locations, it can feel even more meaningful to hold a service outside of a funeral home.

Whether your loved one is buried or cremated, you may want to look at plots in Colorado Springs cemeteries. (Cremation plots are smaller and generally cheaper than full burial plots.) There are only a few cemeteries within the borders of Colorado Springs, but there are several more in the surrounding towns that you could consider. If your loved one was cremated, there are also many lovely places around Colorado where you could scatter his or her ashes.
