What is a Witness Cremation?

Witness cremation gives loved ones the opportunity to be present at the beginning of the cremation process. Family and friends may gather to view their loved one before they are placed into the cremation chamber, allowing space to honor cultural traditions, support emotional closure, and accompany their loved one through this final step.

Why Do Families Choose Witness Cremation?

There are many meaningful reasons to include witness cremation as part of your loved one’s memorial. For some families, it is an important way to honor religious, spiritual, or cultural traditions. Others choose witness cremation to find emotional closure or to feel more connected and informed throughout the process. At BONNEY WATSON, our experienced team has guided many families through planning and participating in witness cremations. We’re here to answer any questions you may have; simply contact us to speak with a member of our team.

Your Loved One Never Leaves Our Care

BONNEY WATSON is unique among providers because we operate our own on-site crematory. This ensures your loved one remains in our care at all times and minimizes any chance of error. Families are welcome to tour our facility, and we follow a strict code of ethics that reflects our commitment to dignity, honesty, and trust.

With our team caring for every detail, cremation provides families the flexibility to honor a life in the way that feels most meaningful, with or without a visitation, funeral, or committal service. Families may hold a memorial at one of BONNEY WATSON’s funeral homes in SeaTac or Federal Way, a local church, or another special venue. Others choose a private gathering or celebration of life at home, by the water, or in a favorite park.

On-Site Cremation Placement Options

At Washington Memorial Park, BONNEY WATSON offers a variety of placement choices, including: burial in one of our urn gardens, scattering in a garden or boulder estate, or above-ground placement in a niche wall or columbarium.

The Mountain View Columbarium features an Asian-influenced design with indoor and outdoor niches and stained glass showcasing the Northwest landscape, from Mount Rainier to the Olympic and Cascade Mountains.

For a more natural setting, the Lake Urn Boulder Garden allows families to create a lasting memorial by placing remains in a private boulder near a tranquil water feature.
