Cremation Water Release
Lake Sunset offers a peaceful setting for our Cremation Water Release, which features a biodegradable urn for loved ones to release into the lake.
Why Choose a Water Release for Ashes?
Many families find that a water release provides a sense of peace. It is a beautiful choice for those who:
- Loved Nature: Perfect for individuals who found peace near the water or spent their lives enjoying the outdoors.
- Value Sustainability: Our biodegradable “Cremation Pillows” are eco-friendly, designed to return your loved one to nature without leaving a trace.
- Desire a One-of-a-Kind Tribute: The gentle drift of the urn on Lake Sunset creates a powerful, lasting visual memory for those in attendance.
Personalizing Your Service at Lakeside Pavilion
The Lakeside Pavilion serves as a private, sheltered space for your family to gather before the release. You can personalize this time by:
- Sharing Music: Use our sound system to play a favorite playlist or a meaningful hymn.
- Flower Tributes: Many families choose to scatter loose flower petals into the water alongside the urn for added color and beauty.
- Reflective Readings: Whether it’s a poem, a scripture, or a personal eulogy, the quiet atmosphere of the lake ensures every word is heard.
Permanent Remembrance: The Memorial Brick Path
While the water release itself is a transitory, beautiful moment, we believe in providing a permanent place for you to visit.
Every Water Burial Package includes an engraved memorial brick placed along the path surrounding the Pavilion. This
allows you to:
- Have a physical “touchstone” to visit on anniversaries or holidays.
- Create a lasting legacy within the peaceful landscape of Sunset Cemetery
- Ensure your loved one’s name is honored for generations to come.

The Package Includes:
- Service at our Lakeside Pavilion
