We’re often asked here at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory why it matters if a funeral home owns their own crematory. It’s critical to remember that not all cremation providers are the same, and our neighbors in Big Spring, Midland, and Stanton know the difference. When you trust us with either cremation or burial,  your loved will be treated with the most dignity and respect.

Below, we outline why you should choose a funeral home with their own crematory.

Your loved one never leaves our care

One main difference between us and other funeral homes is that we’re able to oversee every detail of every cremation because we own our crematory. You and your family deserve peace of mind knowing your loved one never leaves us, and our knowledgeable staff will guide you through every decision that needs to be made. Whether you want to scatter the cremated remains or keep some or all of the remains in a special urn or keepsake, you can trust us for any guidance you may need.

Our promises are backed by the Cremation with Confidence™ Guarantee

We hear about cremation scandals regularly, and we understand why many families are hesitant to choose cremation to begin with. When you choose Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory, our Cremation with Confidence™ Guarantee ensures that your loved one never leaves our care and the remains returned to you are truly those of your loved one. This meticulous, 10-step process outlines best practices, and we stand behind each and every detail.

We offer direct communication

Because we don’t use a third-party cremation provider, all of your questions and concerns are answered by our cremation specialists on our care team. When it comes to cremation, many funeral homes trust the “middleman.” But with us, you can have peace of mind knowing our licensed professionals perform every cremation in our own facility. Our cremation specialists carry out each step of the Cremation with Confidence™ Guarantee carefully and with compassion.

With us, you have options

We’re here to help you plan the most meaningful service, including a visitation, reception, or viewing before or after the cremation. We also want to assist you in creating a memorable ceremony, so we offer unique ways to remember your loved one.

There are so many important reasons why it’s crucial to select a funeral home with their own crematory. When you choose us, you’ll receive peace of mind that your loved one will be well cared for. And our staff is always here to help you arrange a wonderful service before or after the cremation.
