Cremation Services

Caring Experts and Flexible Service Options

We answer many questions from families who want to know more about the cremation process. Then, they choose us…for several important reasons.

We were the first to have a Cremation Center, we began to offer this innovative service to our families in St. Charles County. Today the Care and Cremation Center provides the highest level of services to families. This gives you and your family peace-of-mind and assurance the cremation process is taking place in a dignified setting, not in a warehouse, industrial park or separate outer building.


Our Care and Cremation Center is clean, modern and available for your inspection. Cremations are supervised by Baue staff only, who are both licensed funeral directors and technicians certified by the Cremation Association of North America. Our crematory staff is required to complete extensive training courses in the area of cremation services on an annual basis. Because we operate our own crematory, we are able to maintain the highest levels of quality control to assure the integrity of the cremation process.

Unlike other cremation providers, we have a stringent Cremation Code of Ethics and an 8 Step Standards of Excellence. We believe the trust you place in us is sacred. Your loved one deserves only the highest level of security and care from the moment you call us. You are welcome to tour our facility at anytime, please contact us today to learn more.

We offer the widest variety of choices in the region, from life honoring gatherings to celebration of life memorial services, and we offer options in final memorialization. Choose a beautiful memorial or keepsake with a design that recalls military service, a profession, or favorite pursuit. Preserve cremated remains in lockets or charms as a remembrance for several family members. At Our Cemetery, St. Charles Memorial Gardens, we offer our region’s most unique Cremation Tributes from Niches, Cremation Gardens and Benches, to scattering areas, and a Wall of Memories.


100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Excellence in service is our number one goal. We believe you have a right to demand the very best from us. If you are not satisfied with any part of our services, we will make it right for you.

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

A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service but it can also be a small intimate gathering of those closest to you.

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.

Permanent Memorialization

Keeping an Urn at Home

This is a common choice and families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.

Placing the Urn in a Columbarium (aka, a “niche”)

Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.

Burying the Urn

Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place.

Scattering of the Cremated Remains

Some families find comfort scattering the cremated remains in a place that was special to their loved one.
