Helping You Decide

Something Beautiful to Hold Onto

A small portion of your loved one's cremated remains is sent to our hand-blown glass provider, where it is carefully incorporated into a glass orb paperweight. Each one is unique, shaped by hand, and meant to be held and displayed in your home.

This can be added to any cremation service we offer, including alkaline hydrolysis.

This can also be arranged on its own, whether your loved one's cremation took place with us or somewhere else, recently or years ago.

A small, beautiful object can carry a great deal of meaning. There is no wrong way to keep someone close.

What Families Have Shared with Us

Over 14 years, we've had the privilege of serving thousands of families across North Carolina.

"I have been absolutely astounded at the kindness and professionalism of City of Oaks. They have made the hardest time of my life - losing my father - so much easier with regard to everything that comes after."
"City Of Oaks made a very sad and emotionally draining experience as easy as it could possibly be. Somer and her staff were extremely caring, informative, and made this process a smooth one. From the initial meeting, to the choices of services/products, and the final acceptance, we always felt our needs and feelings were the upmost importance. Also, all costs are set out initially, and there are no “hidden fees” or necessary add-ons."
"The compassion and kindness and generosity shown by Edward and Trey to my family and me during a really sad time made the cremation process more bearable. It was important to us to know that our loved one was being received and cared for in a respectful and loving way. They took time to let us share with them about our loved one and we felt comforted. They were very thoughtful with their suggestions and showed us they genuinely cared about how our loss affected each member of our family. They were truly a blessing to us!"
