Services
Cremation
BONNEY WATSON offers cremation services with transparent pricing starting at $2,395. Our on-site crematory ensures your loved one remains in our care throughout the process. We provide options for memorial services, urn selection, and scattering guidance in accordance with Washington State regulations. Our staff assists with all necessary permits and documentation.
Terramation
Terramation services start at $7,425, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional disposition. The 60-day natural organic reduction process transforms remains into nutrient-rich soil. Families receive the compost for memorial planting or scattering, aligning with environmental values while honoring their loved one's legacy.
Aquamation
Aquamation services begin at $3,720, using water-based alkaline hydrolysis for a gentle, environmentally responsible option. This process produces sterile remains that can be returned to families in an urn. We coordinate with trusted partners to maintain our high standards of care and dignity.
Military Honors
We specialize in military funeral honors, including flag presentation, Taps playing, and coordination with VA benefits. Our Veterans Advisory Board ensures personalized tributes, while the POW/MIA Living Memorial Plaza provides a dedicated space for remembrance and ceremonies honoring service members.
Pre-Planning
Our pre-planning services allow individuals to document preferences for their memorial, ensuring their wishes are honored. We guide families through selecting services, merchandise, and payment options, providing peace of mind through irrevocable trusts that comply with Medicaid regulations.
