Personalized Cremation Services

Cremation Services Options

If your family has chosen cremation, we have a range of services that help celebrate the life of your loved one while giving you several options for a public gathering, and final resting place.

One of the questions I hear most often from families is, "What actually happens during cremation?"

It's a great question, and I believe you deserve a clear answer.

At Bryant Funeral Home & Crematory, we treat every person entrusted to our care with the same dignity and respect that we would want for our own family. After all of the required Wyoming authorizations have been completed, your loved one is respectfully cared for in our own private, secure crematory located right here in Worland, Wyoming.

One thing that makes Bryant Funeral Home different is that we own and operate our own crematory. Many funeral homes must transfer the person who has died to another community or another company for cremation. We don't believe families should have to wonder where their loved one is or who is caring for them.

From the moment your loved one is brought into our care until the moment the cremated remains are returned to your family, they remain under the care of our team. That's something we're very proud of, and it's a responsibility we never take lightly.

After the cremation is complete, the cremated remains are carefully processed and placed in either a temporary container or the urn your family has selected.



If you ever have questions about any part of the process, please ask. We believe an informed family is a more comfortable family, and we're always happy to explain every step.

Traditional Funeral Service Followed by Cremation

Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.

Memorial Service

The memorial service can be held in our chapel, a church, or any other venue the family chooses. We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture. We also have life celebrants that lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.

Graveside Service

Graveside services following cremation offer a meaningful way to honor your loved one with a final act of remembrance. This intimate gathering at the burial site of the urn provides a quiet moment for family and friends to reflect, share memories, and say goodbye in a peaceful setting. Whether simple or ceremonial, it’s a heartfelt way to bring closure and lay your loved one to rest with dignity.

Cremation Services Q & A

1. What is the cremation process?

Cremation is a respectful process that uses intense heat to reduce the body to cremated remains, commonly referred to as ashes. Before the cremation can take place, all required authorizations and permits must be completed in accordance with Wyoming law.

At Bryant Funeral Home, every individual entrusted to our care is carefully identified throughout each stage of the process. Once all documentation has been completed, your loved one is cremated in our own private, secure crematory located in Worland, Wyoming. Because we own and operate our own crematory, your loved one never has to be transported to another city or another provider for cremation.

After cremation, the cremated remains are carefully processed, placed in either a temporary container or an urn selected by the family, and returned with the dignity and respect your loved one deserves.

Families throughout Worland, Basin, Greybull, Ten Sleep, Hyattville, and surrounding Wyoming communities appreciate knowing their loved one remains in the care of the Bryant Funeral Home team from beginning to end.

2. How much does cremation cost in Worland, Wyoming?

The cost of cremation depends on the type of services your family chooses. For many families in Washakie County and Big Horn County, direct cremation is the most affordable option because it includes professional care and cremation without a public visitation or ceremony.

If your family wishes to personalize the experience, additional services may include:

• A visitation or viewing before cremation
• A traditional funeral service followed by cremation
• A memorial service or gathering after cremation
• A celebration of life or party
• A cremation urn or keepsake jewelry
• Cemetery burial or placement in a columbarium
• Permanent memorialization

One of the advantages of choosing Bryant Funeral Home & Crematory is that we own and operate our own private crematory in Worland, allowing us to provide exceptional care without relying on a third-party cremation provider.

We encourage families to contact us for transparent pricing and to discuss the cremation options that best fit their wishes and budget.

3. What is direct cremation?

Direct cremation is a simple and dignified option that includes bringing your loved one into our care, completing all required paperwork, obtaining the necessary authorizations, and performing the cremation without a public visitation or funeral service beforehand.

Many families in Worland, Basin, Greybull, Ten Sleep, and throughout north-central Wyoming choose direct cremation because it offers flexibility and affordability while still allowing them to celebrate their loved one's life in a meaningful way later.

After the cremation, families may choose to:

• Hold a memorial service
• Plan a celebration of life
• Scatter the cremated remains in a meaningful location where permitted
• Place the urn in a cemetery or columbarium
• Keep the urn at home

Unlike many funeral homes, Bryant Funeral Home performs every cremation in our own private, secure crematory in Worland, Wyoming, ensuring your loved one never leaves our care.

4. Can we still have a funeral or memorial service with cremation?

Absolutely.

One of the greatest benefits of cremation is the flexibility it provides. Families can create a service that reflects their loved one's life, traditions, beliefs, and personality.

Many families served by Bryant Funeral Home choose one of the following:

• A traditional funeral with viewing followed by cremation
• A visitation followed by a memorial service
• Cremation first, followed by a celebration of life weeks or even months later
• A private family gathering
• A graveside committal service
• A church memorial service
• A veterans honors ceremony

Whether your family prefers something simple or highly personalized, our experienced funeral directors will help you create a meaningful tribute while guiding you through every step of the planning process.
