Cremation Services
The caring providers at Magnolia Chapel Funeral Home in Tuscaloosa Alabama believe that every life is unique. Each family should be able to choose the type of service that is the most meaningful to them.
Contrary to what most people believe, cremation does not limit what can be done when it comes to a funeral or burial service
Following the funeral service and cremation services, the cremated remains are usually placed in an urn before being committed to a final resting place. The cremation urn may be interred in an existing family burial plot, interred in a special cremation section at a cemetery or placed in an indoor or outdoor cemetery columbarium.
Scattering cremated remains may be done at a designated place on land or water in accordance with state and local laws. Scattering cremated remains on someone's private property requires the permission of the property

Personalizing your Memorial Service with Cremation Services
Every Memorial Service should be a memorable, warm reflection of the person who has died, that includes a Memorial Service with Cremation.

No matter which type of service is selected, we can help you give your loved one a meaningful and personalized farewell.
Many people chose cremation for its simplicity or personal preference. Additionally, many choose cremation because it can be a cost-effective option, depending on the preferences and budget needs of the family. Still others choose cremation for environmental reasons or for the flexibility it affords.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be different than a funeral service followed by in-ground burial. The funeral service can be elaborate or simple; it can be traditional or nontraditional.
Today, arrangements are as individual as the persons for whom and by whom they are made. Cremation simply offers more options because it allows time for the family to gather from the far reaches of the country.
All of our services can be customized to meet a family's needs or wishes. Increasingly, we find individuals want to create a memorial that reflects a more personalized and meaningful tribute. Our staff is always available to help you plan and design a memorial that fully reflects your wishes.Photographs, a special song, even a favorite tie or golf clubs, can be incorporated into the funeral service to make it more meaningful.

Yes, you can. We can help you put your wishes in writing and safely file them away so that when the time comes, your wishes will be carried out just as you requested. This written plan brings a great deal of peace of mind to family members at the time of loss.
Scattering may be legally done on privately owned land or certain public land with permission from the proper authorities. Scattering the cremated body can be full of meaning for loved ones if these were the deceased's wishes.
However, one should also consider how much is being asked of the person who is to do the scattering, because for many, it can be devastating to spill out all that is mortal of someone you have known and loved. Many people choose to portion out the cremated remains; they might scatter a portion, keep a portion at home, and bury a portion in a cemetery.
We of course welcome any suggestions, questions, or requests that you may have.
